How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. In Arreton, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
