DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your visitors, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, Hinton Ampner is dark by about 4:00pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
