How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your residents will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. For a summer hog roast day in Popeswood, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.

- We cook in the grounds.
- We carve thinly and serve on plates.
- We leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
