[Closed] Pig roasts, yay or nay?

Gas BBQ's are real BBQ's!!

As for hog roast, nice crackling and good bread are key.

As for the veggies what ever you cook make sure it's done in the pig juices, dont want them to miss out do you!

A good hog roast is as close to heaven as one can get without leaving the mortal coil....

A bad hog roast? I know not of such things. It's a bit like sex, when it's good it's great. When it's bad, it's still pretty good.

Roasted pig is the best food in the world. Don't concern yourself with vegetarians, they will be too weak to complain anyway [img] [/img]

That reminds me, I have some scratchings in the cupboard.
Hog roast, apple sauce, nice bread. Dear lord, there's nothing nicer.

but what else could I do for veggies????

I'm with Frankie Boyle when it comes to the veggie option - 'you can **** off'.

bigjim - The pigs are all trussed, scored and prepared by our local butcher. We also tend to only put the pork in the rolls and let the guests of the event do the rest themselves, makes it much quicker and most people like to do sauce etc themselves. Our pigs are all free-range outdoor reared duroc breeds, these come in at £2.40/kg, as apposed to the bottom of the line coming in at around a pound cheaper/kg :).

All bread comments, we did try using fresh bread, but the profit margin wasn't as great as frozen baps defrosted, it was considerably less. Do you think that using fresh bread, baked the morning of the event is worth paying for, perhaps an extra £50 more?

Creaser - we are based in oxford but will travel generally 40miles out if it's worth our time.

cookeaa - It's strange you say that about the wedding issues. we mostly only cater for weddings, and it really is as simple as 1 2 3, you give each table a number, and each table goes and collects their food in turn. If 'buffet service' is not your kind of thing, then, atleast in our business, we offer a plate service where we would supply more than enough waitresses to plate up and serve the food to your guests. In regards to the gazebo thing for the rain, it's generally down to the guests to get a marquee normally, and a good gazebo costs alot of money.

bradley - regarding the bread, you could buy really nice, properly baked bread and freeze that.
It's what we do at home.
