The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In late May, sunset in Guilton is about 8:45pm, and midsummer ones until about 9:15pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
