Do Your Research

Not sure where to start? We have step-by-step pig roast guides on our website, with specific details on purchasing, prepping and cooking the pig.

Prep Ahead and Keep It Simple

Do as much of the work ahead of time as possible to make the day-of go smoothly. And don’t make it harder on yourself: choose simple recipes, and don’t be afraid to ask for help! Enlist guests’ help to slice and serve meat, prepare side dishes or drinks, or simply keep you company as you roast. Which leads us to…

Don’t Rush the Roast

You’ll get the best results if you roast the pig long and slow. Keep the temperature low and plan on roasting for at least four hours, if not all day.

Serve Buffet Style

Lay out the roasted pork with a variety of sauces and sides, allowing guests to customize their own plates. This will mean less work for you and a better experience for those in attendance.

Experiment

Try an interesting brine or dry rub, or serve unique dipping sauces. This is a great time to explore traditions from different regions or heritages.

Invite Everyone

A whole roasted pig serves a LOT of people. Why not invite the whole neighborhood?
