Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook. After-work summer events in Barcombe have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Events we cater in Barcombe
It is quick to serve once carving starts, ideal for a set break.
