Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Put the allergen list where people can see it
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, so we can bring chicken, lamb or vegetarian options
- Collect dietary needs when you send the invite
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, then roast through the morning.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we will fit in.
