DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food
- Share the allergen information with the team
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Find out how many don’t eat pork, for the alternatives
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the site as we found it.
If it is a themed open day, tell us and we’ll fit in.
