DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. A lunchtime Christmas party in Dargate is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Name someone to meet us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
