A hog roast or other catering?
Next to ordering takeaway, a hog roast is part of the party, not just the food. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Our staff serve and clear
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Planned to your running order

Catered or do it yourself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
