Slow-roasted pork in Binstead
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In December, it’s dark in Binstead by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.

Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.

- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
Binstead is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
