How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. For an autumn event in Shedfield, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so plan lighting if you’re trading into the evening.
- It starts with your event date, site and expected numbers.
- We check the pitch and any paperwork, then quote.
- We arrive early, set up on the pitch and start roasting.
- We serve to order through the event.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Think about shelter for your visitors
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
