Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Give final numbers in good time
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Share the menu with your venue coordinator
We will be at the venue for most of the day, out of the way, by the cooking area.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for any coeliac guests.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
