Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- An activities lead or manager as contact
- Away from opening windows
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
