DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
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.

The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Lunchtime bookings in Cray's Pond are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
