Tell us the time that suits residents, and we’ll be ready.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Away from emergency routes
- Someone to meet us
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
