Hog roast for events in North Gorley
How it works
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Summer events in North Gorley have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:05pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
How to prepare
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
