About the food
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, hot food makes a difference on a long day. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why St Ann's Green hosts choose us
- An itemised quote
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- All the equipment comes with us
