Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A contact for the day who is not immediate family
- A level outdoor area
- Parking close by for our vehicle
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking does not depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. Summer evenings in Wick Hill stay light until about 9:25pm, so people can spill into the garden.
