Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. Because the roast starts early, and in December Cholsey is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- 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 pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
