Party hog roast in East Langdon, carved to order
A hog roast works for street parties as well, with the right permissions. Typical bookings include engagement parties and naming ceremonies, serving jacket potatoes, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
Country parties near East Langdon suit a hog roast: roasted all afternoon and carved on the lawn. Plan shelter in case it rains. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

How it works
Serving is straightforward: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In East Langdon, late May sunsets come at about 8:45pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.

DIY versus a catered hog roast

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
- Neighbours warned about the smell
