The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late-May events in Bow Common have light until about 8:50pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day

You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
