DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
About our hog roast hire in Send Marsh
In Send Marsh, we cater birthdays, weddings, staff days and fêtes. The idea is always the same: a slow roast on site, carved fresh and served by our team. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and new potatoes, and we are frequently booked for christmas fairs and wakes and memorial gatherings.
For a rural spot like Send Marsh, a hog roast feels right at home. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Send Marsh, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
