What happens on the day
On the day, 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. In late September, sunset in Boyn Hill is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so a later wake may need lighting outside.
- It starts with the date, venue and when people are expected.
- You get a quick answer on the date, and a quote.
- We roast quietly while the service takes place.
- We serve quietly as people gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Gather dietary requirements early
