Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
China crockery is available on request.
