How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a summer hog roast day in Ashurst, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Send final numbers in good time
- Let us know about tight access
