How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In winter, it’s dark in Peppard Hill by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the serving area and the door helps. In summer, there’s daylight until about 9:25pm.
- Tell us the date, venue and rough numbers.
- We confirm availability and send a simple quote.
- We roast quietly during the service.
- Food is ready as guests gather.
- We clear away discreetly.
How to prepare
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
