A hog roast near Adversane
The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. Winter afternoons in Adversane are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We serve in the dining room or garden, as you prefer.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
