Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. For an autumn event in Monxton, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.

- We check the pitch and paperwork and quote.
- We set up early on the pitch.
