If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In Preston Crowmarsh, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date, numbers and serving time.
- We confirm the spot with your manager and quote.
- We arrive early and start the roast.
- We carve and serve where you choose: dining room, lounge or garden.
- We clear away quietly and leave the grounds tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
