Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Details of what the event requires
- Room for a queue that does not block paths
- Space away from marquees, stalls and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
