Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label alternatives clearly
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Roast turkey can be added.
