Planning an event in Hundred Acres?
Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Party hog roast near Hundred Acres

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, it is light in Hundred Acres until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Ask about allergies on the invitation
