Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a volunteer-run kitchen, a professional hog roast frees up your helpers. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why book with us
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Serving and clearing done for you
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if you expect coeliac visitors
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Plan separately for halal if needed
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Add rotisserie chicken for visitors who do not eat pork.
