Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why us?
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Allergies and dietary needs

- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Let us know roughly how many children
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.

About the food
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
For event organisers in Norton Ash
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers.
