Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Step by step
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Planning an evening hog roast in South Chingford? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
