Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at home or a hall can be simpler and better value. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book our hog roast in Littlemore
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Check with family about dietary needs
- Give us numbers for the alternatives
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
- Keep the alternatives labelled
We set up quietly and start the roast early, out of the way of arriving guests.
Rotisserie chicken is a good alternative for those who don’t eat pork.
