Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to sandwiches, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Sides to make it a full meal
- All the equipment comes with us
- Timed around your day

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten
- Ask us to label the vegetarian food
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
If the service runs late, we wait.
Serve on plates with salads and potatoes for a sit-down meal.
