DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
The process
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell generally brings people over long before we carve. In Winchelsea Beach, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Send us your date, venue and numbers.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
