Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Adding lamb gives people a choice of two roasts, which works well for larger groups.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a full location catering unit, a hog roast is simpler and suits smaller shoots and one-off days. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
