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 you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close by
- Light by the serving table
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Hog roast rolls
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast potatoes
- Roast turkey
- Crackling
- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Vegan option (Ve)
