Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
