Slow-roasted pork in East Wittering
DIY versus a catered hog roast
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Wedding hog roast near East Wittering
Wedding timings shift, and a slow roast copes well: a cooked roast holds for a while, so the food copes with a delayed running order. We’re often asked to cater rustic barn receptions and evening receptions, serving salads, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
A farm or garden wedding near East Wittering suits a hog roast. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
