Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a wrap party, a hog roast feels like a reward. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book our hog roast in Lillingstone Lovell
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
See our pricing or our hog roast cost guide.
Looking after everyone
Some crew will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Name a contact for the day, usually locations or the production office.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
