What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Postcombe, late May sunsets come at about 8:55pm and midsummer ones at about 9:25pm, so an early-evening carve is typically in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:55pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
