How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and get on with roasting and serving.

A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

What else we do in Racton
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Note which guests don’t eat pork, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
- Give your coordinator the final menu
For evening food, we carve as the dancing gets going, timed with you in advance.
Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in evening photos.
