A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why Faberstown hosts choose us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. By late September, sunset near Faberstown is about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
How to prepare
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Send final numbers in good time
