Should I cook it myself?
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.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups generally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
