Throwing a party is hard work. With a hog roast, the food is sorted: we cook, carve and serve. We’re frequently asked to cater big birthday parties and wedding anniversaries, with rotisserie chicken, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage.

What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.

- Travel to Millbank
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. There is no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
