Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Let us know roughly how many children
Our chef carves and our staff serve at the agreed time, then tidy up.
Sides turn rolls into a proper party meal.
