FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What kind of pig roaster do you use?

We use 2 types of roasters. We use a Meadow Creek charcoal pig roaster for larger pigs (over 80lbs)



Or a La Caja China box roaster for smaller pigs (under 80#)

What size pig do I need to order?

Size is based upon the number of people. We will calculate the amount needed based on what other items are being served at your event. A general rule of thumb is 1# per person (raw weight)

How long does it take to cook the pig?

We slow roast the pig at our site for 6-8 hours, pause cooking and finish at your event for the last hour or 2 while we set up.

What are your minimums

We have a 40 people minimum for all events.

120 Lb. minimum order (enough for drinking ice and to cool down beer & wine for 40 people)

Liquor Notes:
We do not supply alcohol, but the following are suggested amounts for 40 ppl along with all other bar needs:

Sprits:
Each bar should have at least one bottle of each choice. Therefore, even though you do not think everyone will drink whiskey, for example, you will want to have a bottle of it for the guest who does.

Amounts needed in Liters per 40 people:
3-4 Vodka, 1-2 Gin, 2 light Rum, 1 Dark Rum, 2 Scotch 1 Bourbon, 1 Canadian Whiskey, 1-2 Tequila,
1 Whiskey, 1 Amaretto, 1 Baily's, 1 Kahlua, 1 Peach Schnapps, 1 Sweet Vermouth, 1 Dry Vermouth, 1 Triple sec.
This is a basic list that will allow you to offer the most common cocktails for just about any function. Specific brands are a matter of personal taste, but keep in mind when using mixers a good "middle shelf" liquor is fine. If you expect your guests to request more drinks straight (ie: "up" or "on the rocks", or martinis), I would recommend a premium or top shelf brand liquor. An average group of adults may drink 1. 5 to 2 drinks in the first hour of a party and may average another drink per hour thereafter, For example, if you have 100 guests for 5 hours, you would estimate 6 drinks per person (2 the first hour and 1 each for 4 hours). 100 guests times 6 equals 600 drinks. 600 drinks times a 1.5-ounce pour equals 900 ounces. Assuming you are using 5th, which each holds 25.6 ounces, you will need a minimum of 35 bottles. Remember wine is more than 1. 5 ounces per portion.

Wine:
Wine is most commonly sold in 5th (the term for 1/5 of a gallon) or 750 ml (milliliter bottle) which contains 25.6 ounces, which produces 5 six-ounce, or 6 five-ounce glasses.
Plan for two drinks per person assuming a 4 to 5 ounce portion. The bartenders fill average size wine glasses half full. One bottle for each 2-½ guests = 20 bottles (12 white and 12 red) to be on the safe side

Beer:
4-5 cases: (Domestic 1.5 cases, Imported 1.5 cases, Lite 2 cases)
