Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so keep us posted on the day. A lunchtime Christmas party in Twyford is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
