Full catering or machine hire?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and tell us what they ask for.
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Share the event’s food safety requirements with us
- Show allergens at the stall
At the end, we pack down and take our waste.
