DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
What comes off the roaster
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some visitors will be vegetarian, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them.

- Site access
- The date and time of year
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
