What we serve, dish by dish

Crackling

Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour.

Rotisserie chicken

For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.

Why book our hog roast in Lower Green

  • Choices for people who do not eat pork
  • Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
  • Cooked on the day, low and slow

  • Request gluten-free rolls
  • Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
  • Think about children’s portions
  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed

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.

A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
