A hog roast or other catering?
A hog roast has one downside: it is pork. That’s why we offer lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option for anyone who does not eat it. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- Our staff serve and clear
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children generally like it too.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.

How the day works
