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.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
A common mix is a plated meal followed by an evening hog roast; others make the hog roast the main meal. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
