A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Our staff serve and clear
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Here’s how the day typically runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Late-September shoots near Frilsham lose the light at about 7:10pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
