Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Allergies and dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Add dietary questions to the invite
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
