How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time. By late September, sunset near Woodside is about 7:05pm, so a late wrap needs lighting at base.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We confirm access and send a price.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Before we arrive
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
