The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. In summer, Haddenham has daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. 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 cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
