Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, for the alternatives
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Afterwards we tidy up, and leave the site clean.
Add sides for a bigger lunch.
