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