Should I cook it myself?
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.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

About the food
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
