A hog roast or other catering?
The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved to order by a chef
- Planned to your running order

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance

- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
The roaster needs looking after for hours, which is our job, not yours. You can relax and enjoy the day.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
