A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Timed around your day

Planning for dietary needs
Some crew won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count crew needing an alternative
- Collect crew dietary needs from the call sheet
- Halal is not offered
We get to base first thing, roasting through the morning.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
