A hog roast near Fisher
The process
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. In winter, it’s dark in Fisher by about 4:00pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us as soon as you have a date.
- We check the cooking spot with the venue.
- We set up and roast on the day.
- We serve quietly.
- We leave the venue tidy.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Have a level outdoor spot ready

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

- Older guests may prefer food on plates
- Stuffing generally contains gluten
- Ask close family about dietary needs
We hold the food if people are delayed.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
