Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Served at the time you choose
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- All the equipment comes with us

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.

- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
