Pig and Hog Roasts are the most popular catering sensation sweeping the nation for a large gathering of people. Yes, they have been available for many years- the medieval era was certainly a huge fan of the spit roast after all. We can all conjure a medieval banquet in a castle with serving wenches, noisy banter from the gentry as they sip their jugs of ale and tuck into mouth watering meat slowly cooked for tenderness and flavour.The pig and hog roast is back and more popular than ever with a little more sophistication.
One of the best things about a pig and hog roast is that it's relatively low maintenance and speed of service, yet feeds an army of hungry people. A whole roast can feed up to 120 guests. Now that's a party! Ideally, for a full sized pig roast, you would want at least 50 guests at your event. For parties smaller than 50 people it would be best to opt for a smaller beast, a lamb would be the perfect choice. A whole lamb roast will feed up to 45 people
The modern ovens used today offer total reliability, the flexibility to be manoeuvred into most locations from a hotel to the middle of a field, this makes the hog roast the favoured catering solution for large numbers and the demand is continually growing.
A pig and hog roast is the perfect crowd pleasing party food, instantly making any event memorable as guests queue with anticipation for the mouth watering taste of meat slowly cooked for up to seven hours (depending on size). When it comes to eating the hog, this is really down to personal taste. However, nothing beats a soft white bap and apple sauce lathered on top of the piping hot meat. Bliss
