Catered or do it yourself?
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.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
Let us know if the day runs late: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
