Should I cook it myself?
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it’s needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
