DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Frostlane, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
