Wrap parties suit a hog roast too. On the menu are new potatoes, rotisserie chicken and a vegan option, and we’re frequently booked for long days on set and crew appreciation lunches.

Why choose a hog roast in Duncton?
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Duncton hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- An itemised quote

For event organisers in Duncton
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

The process
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your crew, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Duncton is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- Our position and arrival are agreed in advance.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- Afterwards we clear our spot at base.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
