DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
What a hog roast costs
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Access to the cooking area
- Numbers
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Distance from us
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- The address or postcode
- Which meats and sides you’d like
Not sure how many to cater for? Give us your best estimate and we’ll quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
We’ll be with you for a good part of the day, because the roast starts hours before you eat.
