Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Gluten-free rolls can be brought on request
- Put the menu and allergen information on display
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Balance the food line-up
If the ground is soft, we’ll need a firm route on and off, especially after rain.
Chicken widens the choice.

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
