A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast is easier to organise and keeps people together. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why Cookham Dean hosts choose us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Planned to your running order
- Sides to make it a full meal

Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
