Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Label alternatives clearly
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We pack up whatever the weather.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
