A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Planned to your running order
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- We bring everything to cook and serve

- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
