DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat.
