A hog roast compared with other options
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. For bigger events, catering is normally the easier choice. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
