Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

For event organisers in Henton
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Is a hog roast right for your wedding?
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
