DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, it is dark in West Cliffe by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
