DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
If the schedule moves, tell us: we can hold the roast for a short time.
