Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to deliveries, a hog roast at base is ready on the call. Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
What you get with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- No surprises: everything in writing
