Where the roaster can go in Steep
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- A level patio, lawn or driveway
- A word with the neighbours
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

For an evening party in Steep, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
