Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- A short route for our equipment
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
