How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. Around midsummer it stays light in Hurst Wickham until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.
- You share the when, where and how many.
- We look at the cooking area and send a price.
- We arrive early, set up under cover and start roasting.
- The chef carves and the team fills rolls or plates.
- We pack away and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
