How it works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For a summer hog roast day in Oad Street, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- We send a quote.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
