A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up on the agreed spot, often first thing, then roast through the morning.
