Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Where the roaster can go in Cottonworth
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Permission for outside catering
- Serving inside the marquee or barn if allowed
- A level spot near, but not too near, the marquee
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- If any guests need halal food, arrange it separately
