Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
- Vehicle access close to the cooking area
- Someone to meet us at reception
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
