Any advice on Hog Roasts?
|
I wonder if any of you have ever had a hog roast?
If so do you have any advice or recommendations of where I could hire one with a chef to carve too?
Do you know the approximate costs?
Any help would be great - thanks!XX

Hello ajr,not much use to you really(as in not your area)but we had a hog roast for my daughters wedding last year and it was great.The butcher supplied the meat(of course)and we had a choice of two,he also supplied lovely bread rolls,did all the carving and serving (Of the meat)and left behind no mess whatsoever and remaining meat was put on clean platters and covered for me to take home later.I did the rest of the catering myself and we had a wonderful time.I guess it would depend on the butcher but i can definately recommend it.Good luck in your search,is it for something special?

We had a hog roast at our wedding - we had to as we couldn't get his mother on the spit
. (But that was 25 years ago).Ask around local butchers or the local Young Farmers Club as they might be able to recommend someone. If you have a farmers' market in your area, that's also a good place to look. The person will have to be able to set up a long time in advance and they will usually do the carving for you.
Make sure you get first dibbs on the crackling - yum!
