A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb on the spit roasts gently for hours, and it’s carved the same way, often with mint sauce.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to shop-bought sandwiches, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Sides to make it a full meal
