Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A level spot at base for the roaster
- Somewhere for crew to eat if it rains
- The location manager’s agreement
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.

What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Burnt Hill is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.

- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Lamb roasted on the spit is a lovely alternative to pork, especially for crew who do not eat pork.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
