The process
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. In late September, sunset in Wheeler End is about 7:05pm; in December, about 3:55pm, so we plan lighting for later gatherings.

A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Check with family about dietary needs

- Plan separately if anyone needs halal food
- Plates are easier for older guests than rolls
Food is served as everyone gathers, quietly and respectfully.
Plates and sides make it a full meal.
