Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers ensure they’re not left with just salad.
