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 us?
- Carved to order by a chef
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Walderton is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
