A hog roast or other catering?
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others have the hog roast as the main event. 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.
What you get with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- All the equipment comes with us
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Sides to make it a full meal
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Should I cook it myself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
