- We check the venue and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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 roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
