Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a wrap party, it is a relaxed way to finish. 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, and the quote reflects that.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen list with the crew
- Ask the production office for dietary needs
If lunch moves, we hold the roast a little.
Add salads and potatoes for a full lunch.
Organising for someone else?
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
