How it works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. For an autumn event in Heath End, sunset is around 7:10pm 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.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a step-free way in for the equipment
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
