What we serve, dish by dish

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- All the equipment comes with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- No surprises: everything in writing
