DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep everyone in the loop.

How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Sunset in Ewelme is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:55pm in December, we need light to carve.
