How it works
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. For an autumn event in East Farleigh, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
