Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
Why book with us
- Served at the time you choose
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Serving and clearing done for you

Working with your venue
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
