A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, carved to order at the serving station.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
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 are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why East Guldeford hosts choose us
- Served at the time you choose
- All the equipment comes with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Halal is not offered
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Label the alternatives clearly
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
