Catered or do it yourself?

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label alternatives clearly
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
