Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. In December, daylight in Lower Green ends around 4:00pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
