- Whether travel is included
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- A short route for our equipment
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
