A hog roast or other catering?

Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Timed around your day
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
