Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Served at the time you choose
- Serving and clearing done for you
