How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For a summer hog roast day in Abbey Wood, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
