Do we need extra food?

Should I cook it myself?

We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
- Light near the carving station after dark
