Questions to ask before you book
- What the price includes, item by item
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- Any travel or access charges
- Arrival time and how long the roast needs
Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask staff about dietary needs in advance
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
We set up on the agreed spot, frequently first thing, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Ask about china for a more formal lunch.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and get on with roasting and serving. After-work summer events in Bilting have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:45pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer.
