Why choose a hog roast in North Marston?
Next to sandwiches, a hog roast is a warm meal, especially in colder months. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- No surprises: everything in writing
Read how we price or the cost guide.

- A short route for the equipment
- A friend or relative we can call
- A level outdoor area
