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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
What comes off the roaster
Spit-roast lamb
With lamb as well, there are two roasts to choose from, which suits bigger events.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
The process
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Upper Lambourn, evening wedding food often coincides with dusk: about 9:25pm at midsummer, 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.
