DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What the cooking area needs
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. A quick checklist:
- Your trader requirements
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
- Permission for cooking on the site
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
Popular choices
- Coleslaw
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Stuffing and apple sauce
For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We will fit in with site rules.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
