DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
