Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For a staff lunch in Boyatt Wood, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
