- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

How to get a price
We price every booking individually, because numbers, menu, serving time and travel vary. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At large shows, tell us expected numbers. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why Blackstone hosts choose us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Planned to your running order
- All the equipment comes with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

About the food
