Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. In Alvescot, late May sunsets come at about 9:00pm and midsummer ones at about 9:30pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:00pm, need lights by the roaster.
