Hog Roast Hire in Portsmouth Point

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

The obvious catch is that a hog roast is pork. So we offer lamb, chicken and vegetarian and vegan choices too. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups typically cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Why book with us

• Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
• Cooked on the day, low and slow
• Served at the time you choose
• A choice of salads and potatoes

Should I cook it myself?

Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
