Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, one roast serves everyone together. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Served at the time you choose

How it works

- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- Service is quick.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
