DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we can hold the cooked roast for a while before carving, so tell us as soon as plans change. For an evening party in Ovingdean, think about light: it’s light until about 9:15pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. Lights by the food keep the party going.
