Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.

A lunchtime Christmas party in Tackley is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
