A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rotisserie chicken
For staff who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Clearance from the building and parked cars
- Shelter for the team
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
