Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

- Planned to your running order
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
