Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
How the day works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your staff event. Daytime open days in Mead End are rarely affected by light, though in winter it is dark by about 4:05pm, so late events need lighting.
