DIY versus a catered hog roast
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
What happens on the day
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 Nalderswood are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
