The process
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Late May in Droxford has light until about 8:55pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
