A hog roast or other catering?
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- All the equipment comes with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
Take a look at how we price and the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Halal is not offered
- Tell us who does not eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We arrive early and set up at base, roasting through the morning.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
