Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Rather than relatives cooking, a catered hog roast lets everyone be together. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Farningham hosts choose us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- We bring everything to cook and serve

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer wake in Farningham, there’s light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
