DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Indoor space for eating
- Parking near the cooking area
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Roast potatoes
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Salads
- Crackling
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Roast turkey
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
