Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Timed around your day
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
See how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
