A hog roast or other catering?
Next to grilling to order, one roast serves everyone together. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What you get with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Carved to order by a chef
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
