Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to cold food, hot food is popular in any season. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Served at the time you choose
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Show allergens at the stall
- Make the stall easy to find
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
We clear the pitch and take everything away.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Working with your venue
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
