Hog roast

[Aden]

Hey guys,

Just wondering if any of you guys know any cheap hog roasts?

I only have a budget of £250 to spend on the hog roast itself but everywhere seems to be in the £500 range. Its only for 30-50 people, family and friends.

Thanks guys!

£200 quid for pig and £50 quid for charcoal and some steel tube?

Heck it's old technology:)

Does anyone do a half-hog roast?

Boston based, but I know they travel. Been to a few events they have done hog roasts at, excellent quality. Not sure on prices thou, give them a ring.

I have a friend who helps out with an annual event, where they BBQ their own pig, because of the cooking time, they do it over night, ready for lunchtime the following day, using shifts of volunteers. Most years it goes OK, but one year, due to some rain, and a less than vigilant early morning volunteer, the BBQ died down for a few hours.......the result as a inedible pig..........and lots of emergency sandwiches.

Since then they hire a 3rd party company, who can cook a whole pig in a 2-3 hours.

I could (and would) have turned the whole carcase into chops, steaks and ribs in minutes for alternative neuc-ing..contingency planning:):)

That was impossible, I was told that the meat had "go off" !, however, that didn't ring very true, I suspect it must have been on the borderline before they started to cook it.

Well my boss didnt want to get a setup for us to do ourselves because a few years back he did one and didnt cook it right and ended up giving most the people food poisoning.

..leaving warm meat about to stew in it's own bacteria isn't a good idea, I grant.. you got to get heat right through it early on.

Those of us brought up as impecunious students eating in dodgy greasy spoons did develop a wonderful immunity that all these new regs avoid:):)

Looks like you're all sorted so not a problem.
