Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches from a shop, a hot hog roast keeps morale up. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In December, daylight in Farleigh Wallop ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
