DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer wedding in How Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is typically served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
