Full catering or machine hire?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
For planners, venues and organisers
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Why choose a hog roast in Sheldwich?
Compared with individual food vans, carving serves the whole team fast. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
