Rotisserie chicken

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.

Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a staff lunch in Idbury, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit cooking area. Summer events have daylight until around 9:30pm.
