Step by step
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. Sunset in Warborne is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 4:05pm, need lights by the roaster.

- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We set up hours ahead.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.
