A hog roast near Nettlestead Green
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast suits single days and smaller crews. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- No surprises: everything in writing
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
