Corporate hog roast in Upper Wield, slow-roasted on site

For farms and rural sites near Upper Wield, we can cook in the yard. Tell us about access. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
