Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, 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. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
