How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. For a summer hog roast day in Nash, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:50pm, lunchtime is best.

- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We pack up calmly.

Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- A named contact on the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
