Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
How the day works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell typically brings people over long before we carve. In Burpham, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so an early-evening carve is generally in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.

Planning the cooking spot
