Hog roast for events in Mott's Mill
The process
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Summer events in Mott's Mill have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
