How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December America Ground is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You send the location, date and lunch call.
- We check the route and send a price.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack away straight after service.
