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.

How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. At midsummer, it’s light in Portsmouth Point until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We tidy up and pack away.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
