Hog roast for events for Winnall
How the day works
We cook on a gas-fired roaster, so we do not need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. At midsummer, events in Winnall stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Share the date, site and expected crowds.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
