How the day works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. On a winter shoot near Shover's Green, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.

- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve fast on the lunch call.
- We clear our spot.
Before we arrive

- The date and time of year
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
