Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, we take the cooking off your volunteers. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Eridge Green hosts choose us
- All the equipment comes with us
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- A choice of salads and potatoes

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- Crockery choices
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.

Planning help
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
