DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How it works
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Sunset in Botolphs in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Name a contact for the day
