Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your crew will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Churt is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
