The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. At midsummer, events in East Ashling stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
