- Find out who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Let us know roughly how many children
Have a word with the neighbours first: roasting takes hours and the smell travels.

Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
