DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Step by step
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. By late September, sunset in Cumnor is about 7:10pm; by December it is about 3:55pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- We serve when you are ready.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price
