Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?

Step by step
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your crew, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Little Horsted 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.
Preparing for the day
- Send final numbers in good time
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
