How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your staff, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In Liss, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. By late September, sunset is around 7:05pm.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.

A hog roast or other catering?
For client events, add china, sides and a second roast to make it more formal. The main driver is numbers: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
