The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late May in Padbury has light until about 9:00pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- You tell us when, how many and where.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to the usual lunch, a hog roast day feels like an outing without leaving home. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
