How the day works
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. At midsummer, events in Runcton stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
