Full catering or machine hire?

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

What happens on the day

The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Sunset in Midgham in late December is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

  1. Tell us when and where the party is.
  2. We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
  3. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
  4. We carve and serve hot on cue.
  5. We clear away whatever the weather.

Preparing for the day

  • Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
  • Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
  • Confirm numbers ahead of the day
