It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will check it with you before booking.
Can you cater at home?
Most places, with an outdoor spot for cooking.
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Summer evenings in Coneyhurst stay light until about 9:20pm, so a garden gathering works well.
- Share the date, place and numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
