Hog roast for events in Ecchinswell
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. Late-May events in Ecchinswell have light until about 8:55pm, while at midsummer it’s about 9:25pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- On the day we set up under cover and get the hog on.
- We carve rolls to order as the queue moves.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
