What else we do in Willington
How it works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. For a summer hog roast day in Willington, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:15pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:50pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Think about shelter for your residents
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
