Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
What happens on the day
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. For a staff lunch in Kentsboro, daylight isn’t an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
