DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Balance the food line-up
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
