A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and often better value. It still feels like a feast. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why us?
- Staff to serve, so you do not have to
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Served at the time you choose
- Choices for people who do not eat pork

DIY versus a catered hog roast
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
