Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Find out how many do not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Keep alternatives clearly labelled
We serve on time, so people get back to work on time.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- Season and day of the week
- Numbers
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose matters too. Ask us and we’ll suggest the best fit for your budget.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Allergies we should know about
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
- Rules from the venue or landowner
