What happens on the day
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In late May, sunset in Yapton is about 8:50pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We talk through residents’ needs with your team.
- You get a clear price.
- We cook in the grounds.
- Food goes out on plates.
- We tidy up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
