Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. Summer events in South Holmwood have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
