- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.

Why choose a hog roast in Howe Hill?
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why Howe Hill hosts choose us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
