How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Winter afternoons in Riseley are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
