We work to your event plan, including vehicle times and pitch layout.

What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change.

- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
