Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Some productions combine a hog roast with their usual caterer. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- Timed around your day
- Fresh carving at the serving station

Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Season and day of the week
- The number of people
- Crockery choices
- Distance from us
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Roughly how many people
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
Every shoot is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your shoot for a quote: use our quote form.
