Should I cook it myself?

Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Christmas hog roast in Mottisfont, slow-roasted on site
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. Popular choices include roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for new Year parties and family Christmas gatherings.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
