A hog roast near Kidbrooke
The process
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In late May, sunset in Kidbrooke is about 8:50pm, while at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, the stall needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
