Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s 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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Space, access and the venue
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Power for lights in the evening
- Space well clear of tents and trees
- Flat ground outside the reception for the roaster
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.
Popular choices
