Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A lit route to the food
- A short route for our equipment
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests

What comes off the roaster

Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.

You can combine: turkey and pork together. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
