A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- All the equipment comes with us

How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day.

- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.

Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.

Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
