A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At a December wedding in High Hurstwood, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
