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 that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- Menu choices and extras
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What to tell us
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- The venue or postcode
- Your menu choices
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Every staff event is quoted on its own, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your staff event: fill in our quote form.
