DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Party hog roast near Woodcote
Milestone birthdays call for something special, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. Whether it is ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries and retirement celebrations, we can cook crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and coleslaw for your guests.
Most parties in Woodcote are at home, and in London that means getting the roaster into the garden. If there’s no side gate, tell us about rear access or a front garden. A picture helps. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
