Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

The process
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. In late May, sunset in Aston Upthorpe is about 8:55pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:25pm. Evening festivals need lighting by the stall after that.
