Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
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.

How the day works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Around midsummer it stays light in Pedlinge until about 9:15pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:00pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
