How it works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For an autumn event in Lower Willingdon, sunset is around 7:00pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
