Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Elmfield
Can you roast near the sea around Elmfield?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Can you cater after a service at St John's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.

We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.

What about coeliacs?

Do we need cover?
The roaster has its own cover; guests will want somewhere dry to eat if it rains.
