Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with takeaway pizzas, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why us?
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
- Let us know roughly how many children
A cooked roast holds for a while, so just let us know.
A string of lights by the carving station looks great as it gets dark.
