The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. In summer, Northchapel has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.

Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- Clear of ambulance and delivery access
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
