Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
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.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
A hog roast alongside cakes and teas gives visitors a good choice. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
