A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. Winter afternoons in Rowhook are short, with sunset at about 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.
- We plan with your manager and kitchen.
- You get a clear price.
- We set up outdoors, clear of access routes.
