Step by step
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Boughton Monchelsea, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so an early-evening carve is normally in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We get there early to start the roast, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
