You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:

Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How we price a hog roast for your event
Here’s what affects the price:
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- Travel to St Margaret's at Cliffe
- The serving time and how long we are on site
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.
