DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
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.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Indoor space for eating
- A short route for our equipment
- Light by the serving table
