Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options

Slow roasting needs attention, and that is what we are there for. You can relax and enjoy the day.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with food vans, a hog roast serves a lot of people from one roast, with no waiting for individual orders to cook. Published UK guides give a wide range for hog roast catering, from around £10 a head for a basic roll to £20 or more with sides and service. Every event gets its own quote, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Why book our hog roast in Elmhurst

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
