Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.

- Think about children’s portions
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
