DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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 we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there is a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so everyone has something hot.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Find out who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so you only need to provide the space.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, at an extra cost.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
