How it works
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In Lower Cadsden, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We start with the date, numbers of residents, staff and visitors, and the time.
- We agree the cooking spot, clear of emergency access, and quote.
- On the day we set up outdoors and roast through the morning.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
