DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
We set up in the agreed spot, so the party carries on around us.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
