The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Sunset in South Warnborough is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 4:00pm in December, we need light to carve.

What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

- How easy it is to reach the spot

Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
