About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce

Is a hog roast right for your event?
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Carved to order by a chef
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
