On the menu are apple sauce, salads and rotisserie chicken, and we’re regularly asked to cater one-year memorials and gatherings after scattering ashes.

What a hog roast costs
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Time on site
- Travel to Broad Street
- How many people are eating
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.
What to tell us
These are the details we need:
- Dietary requirements
- An estimate of numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Rules from the venue or landowner
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Older guests may prefer food on plates

Name a friend or relative as our contact, so the immediate family is not disturbed.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who do not eat pork.
