The caterer orders the pig through a butcher, scores and seasons the skin, mounts it and roasts it for most of the day. The skin is crisped at the end for crackling, then the pig is rested and carved at a carving station.
Options Available
| Pork option | Weight | Roughly feeds | Cooking time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suckling pig | 10 - 20kg | 20 - 35 guests | 4 - 5 hours |
| Medium whole pig | 30 - 45kg | 50 - 80 guests | 5 - 7 hours |
| Large whole pig | 50 - 70kg | 80 - 120 guests | 7 - 9 hours |

A large pig needs a heavy-duty spit rated for the weight. Confirm the machine size on the quote.

Good crackling depends on dry skin, scoring and a hot finish. Ask how the caterer finishes the skin and whether it is served separately. Crackling softens when covered, so it does not travel well in delivered orders.

Events
Pork spits suit bigger birthdays, year-end functions, Christmas parties, rugby and sports days, and weddings where lamb costs too much for the guest count.
Check Your Guests First
