- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.

- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
