Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. For a summer hog roast day in Bramley Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.

- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- We set up under cover and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
