Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
DIY or catered? DIY suits confident cooks and relaxed parties; catering suits bigger parties. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

For event organisers in Hipley
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
