DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing typically contains gluten
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Think about children’s portions
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
