For most of you this may be the first time that you have
ordered a hog roast, or if you prefer a lamb roast.
If you take advantage of the Do It
Yourself (DIY) there are several points to consider. It's very hard work catering for large
numbers of people. I have been doing my own private parties myself for years.
After several events I
suddenly realised one night that everyone was going home after having a
great time, wonderful food, lots of socialising and a great night all round
and they were all going home - except me. Then I had the clearing up to do! So after many years of
entertaining I now have our staff to do it. I sit back and enjoy my evening, the
food, the socialising and no cleaning or clearing up.
Some of the questions I get
asked I have listed below. You may find it helpful to consider these points when planning your function.

about vegetarians - We can cater for those too.

-
Will I have
to collect my roasting meat or can I get it delivered on the day of my function

able to get a hog roasting machine into the venue and to where my guests will be

-
If I'm
going to spit roast over an open fire or charcoal, who will spend all day tending it

is undercooked when our guests arrive what do I do - If you follow
our instructions and use one of our machines it won't be.

is overcooked, how much will I have to cut off before I can serve some edible meat

I do if, when I start carving, the food isn't cooked in the middle It
will be.

are acceptable and easy.

Will the
hog roast machine need cleaning thoroughly before
returning after use - No we do that

the DIY option.
