A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with family members cooking, we take the cooking off the family’s hands. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Hulcote hosts choose us
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Planned to your running order
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
