Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
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.
Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If you are organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep you both updated.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Parking close to the house
- Access for the roaster through a gate or passage
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.
