A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What you get with us
- Timed around your day
- We bring everything to cook and serve
- Our staff serve and clear
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
