Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Allergies and dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Show allergens at the stall
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Balance the food line-up
- Halal isn’t offered
We get to the pitch early, so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
Coleslaw goes well with pork rolls.
