Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Crackling for everyone who wants it

Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
