DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The process
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Lunchtime bookings in Upper Dicker are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for later events. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:15pm.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Think about shelter for your staff
