Slow-roasted pork in Warden
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a venue’s set menu, a hog roast at a hall is often simpler. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why us?
- Timed around your day
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- We bring everything to cook and serve

Funeral wake catering in Warden, carved to order
While you’re at the service, the roast cooks quietly, ready for when everyone comes back. Our staff serve calmly and clear away discreetly. We serve roast pork in rolls or on plates, new potatoes and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for gatherings at clubs and pubs and life celebrations.
In rural Warden, home or the hall is usual. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.

How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss.
