Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. For a summer hog roast day in South Harefield, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.
