DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
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.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels, and they may ask for a roll.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
About the food
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls or plates? Rolls are quicker; plates suit a sit-down meal, with gluten-free rolls on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
A hog roast compared with other options
Hire the machine or book catering? DIY hire works for relaxed get-togethers; catering suits bigger or more important parties. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups normally cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
