DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, which keeps it hot and moist right to the last roll.
Organising for someone else?
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- We do not offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
Name someone to meet us, who can show us the cooking spot and pass on any changes.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
