DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label alternatives clearly
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
What comes off the roaster
Roast turkey
At Christmas, add roast turkey alongside the hog, carved at the serving station.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Everything goes into a soft roll, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
