DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
FAQs for Lisson Grove
What if our house in Lisson Grove has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard normally works. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul's Community Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is usually fine if the venue is happy.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level spot away from the house and trees, given access for the equipment. A photo helps.
What about kids?
Most children like pork in a soft roll, with chicken as an alternative.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
Why choose a hog roast in Lisson Grove?
Next to a barbecue, you are not stuck flipping burgers all afternoon, and everyone eats together. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
