DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Before you choose a spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A spot well away from the house
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
