Working with your venue
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and we break it up so everyone gets a piece.
