Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast can be a special day alongside regular catering, for a wrap or a milestone. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- An itemised quote
- Planned to your running order
- Carved by our chef in front of your crew
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork

About the food
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
