Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with cold food stalls, hot rolls are welcome whatever the weather. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
