Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. In Whippingham, summer evenings stay light until about 9:20pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. By late September, sunset is around 7:10pm.
