Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to cold food, hot food is popular in any season. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
What happens on the day
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your visitors will smell it long before they see it. In late May, sunset in Avisford is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
Ask for a quote
