DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A queuing area
- A level pitch
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
