A hog roast near Priestwood
How the day works
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. In summer, Priestwood has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- We roast through the morning.
- We serve inside or out.
- We pack up calmly.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Gather dietary requirements early
