We always enjoy doing a hog roast and we are happy to cater for you with the best hog roast and the best crackling. The hog roast is the new sensation sweeping the nation. Yes, they have been going for a fair few years- the medieval world was a huge fan of the hog spit roast after all. It should take about five hours to cook, but then you also need to factor in time for the carving of the hog. And that’s the great thing about it. It’s a long, slow, relaxed cooking process that will have your guests watering at the mouth for a taste. It’s just the perfect crowd-pleasing party food, and instantly makes any event memorable. When it comes to eating the hog, this is really down to personal taste. However, nothing beats a soft white bap and applesauce lathered on top of the piping hot meat. One of the best things about a hog roast is that it’s relatively low maintenance, yet feeds an army of hungry people. A whole hog roast can feed up to 120. Now that’s a party! Ideally, for a full sized pig roast, you would want at least 50 guests at your event. Here are some guidelines on how you can approach it. Having two people carve a hog roast is idea but if there will only be one person, then they should begin carving 15 minutes before the meal starts. Make sure you have a sharp knife, tongs, a large fork, a pan to put the meat into and ample space. You should carve the pig (hog roast) on a roasting pan to catch the juices.

We are now able to supply freshly cooked Jacket Potatoes for your event. Our Jacket Potato oven can cook 150 potatoes at one time. These can either accompany your Hog Roast or can be supplied for your event on their own with fillings. Purchase your pig from a state inspected establishment. Typically, a 7-day notice for a local super market, grocery store or meat packer is necessary to ensure that your pig is ready when you need it. Ask the butcher to remove the eyes and have the pig ready for roasting when you pick it up. Hog roast pig catering company wedding events spit roast hog weddings fates corporate events hog roast birthdays 40 50 60 cheap hog roast catering, Prepare the pig by washing it inside and out, giving particular attention to the ears, snout and feet. Place a block of wood between the jaws and thoroughly salt the inside of the cavity. If you wish to stuff the pig, now is the time to do it. Stuff the pig's cavity with whole Italian sausage links and whole, cleaned fryer chickens, bread stuffing, sauerkraut or whatever you feel like putting in there. Sew the cavity opening with butcher's string to keep the stuffing in place during the cooking process. For hundreds of years the problem of feeding a large crowd on high days and holidays was solved by spit hog roasting a whole animal, and the operation itself became a focus of the celebration. Today, although whole carcasses are no longer so easy to come by, a return to informality even in large gatherings has brought about renewed interest in spit-roasting hog roast, The choice of the carcass is of utmost importance if you want tasty and tender meat. Old, heavy carcasses not only take longer to cook than younger ones, but also turn out dry and tough. Make sure that one you select is that of a young, well-fed animal. For best results, the dressed weight of a lamb carcass should range between 25 and 55 pounds. Don’t tell porkys are a hog roast company operating around Wrexham Chester and Stafford are Shrewsbury Shropshire hog roast and spit roast company we only cook the best pig and pigs for our hog roast so that you the customer will get the best hog roast pig ever. The most suitable weight for a pork carcass is between 30 and 50 pounds. Of course you are welcome to spit-roast a brontosaurus to feed your entire village, but the larger you go, the greater the margin for error and the likelihood that the overall end product will not be as tasty and tender. Often, it is hard to fit within these boundaries, as once your friends know you are having a spit-roast, they all want to come! This is mostly the case with us, and we normally end up cooking larger animals than we ourselves recommend. If you have a lot of people to feed, ideally you should cook two smaller animals, rather than one large one. If possible, lamb should be ordered a few days in advance, so that your butcher has time to age the meat. With the advent of meat processing plants, this is becoming more and more difficult with many butchers now not geared up to store whole carcasses in their refrigeration units. Aging is regarded as the most effective method of tenderising meat since it is a natural process and not only results in tenderness, but also develops flavour. When purchasing a lamb carcass, ask the butcher to remove the head and neck, and the kidneys embedded in the suet. For a hog roast spit, however, leave the kidneys in place and let them roast with the rest of the carcass. Traditionally they are offered to the guest of honour before the meat is served to the other guests. A pig’s carcass should be left with the head and tail on. Remember to remove the kidneys, and cook them separately if you wish.

It is always hard to estimate the amount of food that you will need to feed your guests. Not having enough food for your guests is like a commercial aircraft running out of fuel in midair. As a general rule a dressed animal will yield 50% of the dressed weight in cooked meat. You should allow ½ to 1/3 of a pound of meat per person, depending on how savage your friends are. If you decide to stuff your beast, the type of stuffing you use, will depend on what you are cooking. Use your imagination, but to get you started here are a couple of recipes, which work well with pork or lamb. To keep the legs of the lamb or the pig's trotters out of the fire they must be secured to the spit. Loop a piece of thin stainless steel flexible wire around one of the hind feet, tighten the loop with pliers, then pass the wire around the other hind foot pull it close to the first. Don’t tell porkys are a hog roast company operating around Wrexham Chester and Stafford are Shrewsbury Shropshire hog roast and spit roast company we only cook the best pig and pigs for our hog roast so that you the customer will get the best hog roast pig ever. Twist the two ends of wire together tightly and cur off any excess. Hog roast catering hog roast weddings hog roast venues Hog roast catering hog roast weddings hog roast venues. Hog roast catering hog roast weddings hog roast venues Hog roast catering hog roast weddings hog roast venues. Truss the forefeet in the same way. Then pull the hind feed close to the spit and secure them to it with wire. If you have a very fatty pig, you might want to score the skin/rind with a sharp knife, since it will shrink and crack during the cooking process. Scoring your hog roast will allow a lot of the fat to render out of the skin, producing very good crackling, and will make it easier to remove the crackling, prior to carving the meat. You might be eager to shorten the cooking time as much as possible, it is important that the carcass does not roast too rapidly at the beginning. Don’t tell porkys are a hog roast company operating around Wrexham Chester and Stafford are Shrewsbury Shropshire hog roast and spit roast company we only cook the best pig and pigs for our hog roast so that you the customer will get the best hog roast pig ever. This will result in the outside becoming hard, preventing the heat from penetrating to the interior. So, start off slowly and gradually turn the heat up. The most difficult part of pulling off a good spit-roast is getting the outside of the beast golden brown and nicely caramelised and at the same time getting the meat under the skin cooked all the way through to the bone, Hog roast pig catering company wedding events spit roast hog weddings fates corporate events hog roast birthdays. Don’t tell porkys are a hog roast company operating around Wrexham Chester and Stafford are Shrewsbury Shropshire hog roast and spit roast company we only cook the best pig and pigs for our hog roast so that you the customer will get the best hog roast pig ever. There is no doubt that hog roast Pork Fat Rules! Nowadays pigs are being bred a lot leaner and there is less of this good stuff to go around. If however you are fortunate enough to get a pig that has a good concentration of fat under the back skin, you can seriously impress your guests by cooking the crackling to a salty crisp. This is easier said than done, but if done right, will be one of the talking points of your spit-roast. 45 minutes before the pig is done, you should liberally sprinkle coarse salt over the skin of the pig. This will absorb the moisture in the skin and will crisp up the crackling. If the skin is still not crisping properly towards the end of the cooking. Take a kettle full of cold water and pour it over each of the two shoulders and each of the two hams. This will wash a lot of the fat off the skin, and will cause the skin to shrivel and crisp up easier. Note that when you are hog spit roasting a pig, very often the cracking can be done to perfection while the rest of the meat requires further cooking. Simply remove the cracking and serve it as a snack, or keep it on one side and reheat it just before serving with the rest of the pork. If you decide to do this make sure you baste the ‘exposed’ meat while it continues cooking, or it will dry out on the outside.

We put the pork, chicken and brisket out on the table. We also serve baked beans and coleslaw. Your cooking time is going to vary depending on the size of your hog roast and the method you are using to smoke it… but if you are using an 80lb hog (which is what I would recommend to get started with) then it should take you approx. 8-10 hours at about 250 degrees if you stay about 12″ away from the heat source. You want to spray the outer skin with cooking spray or rub it down with a vegetable oil. This will make it have a really nice” tan” colour instead of a dark burnt look. You can even wrap the ears, snout, and tail in aluminium foil to keep them from turning to dark. It’s basically an appearance thing but you want the end result to look good as well as taste great. If you would like to have something slightly less formal, more fun and budget friendly for your wedding, a pig roast or mixed meat roast is a stress free choice.
