How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. After-work summer events in Whitchurch Hill have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer and 8:55pm in late May, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:10pm.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
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.
What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
