How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in East End of London ends around 3:55pm.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- We carve to order the moment lunch is called.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
How to get a price
