Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A hog roast has one downside: it’s pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Served at the time you choose

Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.

How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
