DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Perfect for your party in Aston Tirrold
One roast feeds everyone together, so nobody is waiting for the next batch.
Here’s what people in Aston Tirrold most frequently book a hog roast for:
- Christenings
- Ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries
- Close and cul-de-sac parties
- Engagement parties
Among the historic houses close to Aston Tirrold are Brightwell Manor (3.3 miles north-east). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules.
Before booking anyone
- What the cooking area needs: space, cover and access
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- The full menu and the sides
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Neighbours warned about the smell
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A wet-weather plan for guests
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
What we serve
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Coleslaw
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Jacket potatoes
- Salads
Looking after everyone
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
