DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Late-May events in Holt End have light until about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
