Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Working with your venue

Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
