- Request gluten-free rolls
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
How we price a hog roast for your party
Your quote depends on:
- Access to the cooking area
- Plates or china
- How many people are eating
- How long the roast and service take
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Getting an accurate quote
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- Where the event is
- The date and time of the event
- Anything the venue has asked for
A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Sunset in Mountain Street is about 8:45pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.
