Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Indoor space for eating
- Clearance from walls and tents
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
Popular choices
- Hog roast rolls
- Roast potatoes
- Roast turkey
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Salads
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Crackling
- Rotisserie chicken
- Halloumi skewers (V)
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
