- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- Afterwards we clear up and go.

Full catering or machine hire?
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.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Level hardstanding or lawn
- Access through the site gates
- Someone to meet us at reception
