A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For an evening party in Hook Common, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September it is around 7:05pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
