Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Make the stall easy to find
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Tell us if there’s a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Balance the food line-up
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
If your event has a theme, tell us.
