The process

- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a simple quote.
- The roast cooks while the service is under way.
- We serve when everyone arrives, calmly and without fuss.
- We tidy up and leave without fuss.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold buffet, roast pork on a plate with potatoes is more filling. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?

- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
