About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, a hot, filling option of their own.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

What else we do in Blackwall
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
