DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
Hog roast for events in Norwood Hill, carved to order
How the food is paid for depends on the event: a package or a pay-as-you-go stall. Let us know what you have in mind. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for village fêtes and food and music festivals.
Near Norwood Hill, events may be far from shops and cafés, so a hog roast goes down well. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
