Planning an event in Poundsbridge?
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Party hog roast near Poundsbridge
A party at home needs a little planning for the roaster: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. Whether it’s street parties and big family get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of apple sauce, a vegan burger or sausage and coleslaw and more.
In a small place like Poundsbridge, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to doing it all yourself, a catered hog roast gives you the day back. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
