Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A covered area or canteen for wet weather
- Sign-off for outside caterers
- A named contact for the day
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Should I cook it myself?
