Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere for us to park nearby
- A side gate or passage wide enough to wheel the equipment
- A wet-weather plan for guests

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Autumn parties in West Thorney get dark early: about 7:05pm by late September and 4:00pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
