DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count who does not eat pork
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
