What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, and it’s carved the same way.
Is a hog roast right for your shoot?
Compared with a barbecue, carving is quicker for big numbers. Compare like for like: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
