- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing usually contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We follow location rules on vehicles and timings.
For an evening wrap, tell us about lighting at base.

- Away from vehicles and equipment

If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a wrap party, a hog roast feels like a reward. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- All the equipment comes with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
See our pricing or the cost guide.
