Who serves?

What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, Highleigh is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
How to prepare
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with burger vans, a hog roast stands out at a traditional fête. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, which keeps it hot and moist.
