Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Planned to your running order
