Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. 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.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
