DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
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.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
Popular choices
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Jacket potatoes
- Salads
- Hog roast rolls
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Crackling
- Coleslaw
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Rotisserie chicken
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
