Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Open days in Addington generally finish in daylight, though in winter it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so late events need lighting.
- We start with the site, date, numbers and lunch break.
- We check site access and send a price.
- On the day we set up and roast through the morning.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve to your timings.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
