Questions to ask before booking
- How dietary needs are handled
- Which meats, sides and extras are included
- What the price includes, item by item
- Who carves and who serves
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
