The whole hog roasting process
​

unlike some other hog roasting companies out there we roast from start to finish on site where possible, we understand not all venues will allow a caterer to be on site all day.

​

How long we will need to be onsite depends on the number of guests and the size of the hog, but an average sized hog roast will take about 6 or so hours plus serving and prep time.

​

​

1. We will arrive approximately 7-8 hours before we are due to serve the hog roast and we aim to setup the cooking area within the first hour. The cooking area is protected from unwanted weather by our 3x3 metre gazebo so we are completely weather proof.

​

​

2. By the end of the first hour we hope to have the hog prepared and slowly turning in the hog roast machine on full heat to generate the golden crispy crackling.

​

3. During the following 4 hours we regularly monitor the pigs temperature progress to ensure that we are on track for the hog to be served on time.

​

4. Approximately one hour before serving time we will lift the pig out of the oven and start to carve the succulent meat into trays we ensure that the meat is slowly heated in its own juices through this time which dramatically improves the flavor.

​

5. After the Hog has been carved down we quickly set up the salad tables and lay out the bread rolls and apple sauce.

​

6. We’ll invite your guests over to our gazebo and begin to serve the hog roast.

​

7. When service has ended we will quietly pack up and leave you to enjoy your event.
