A hog roast near Ambrosden
How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. For a summer wedding in Ambrosden, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, which means an evening hog roast is usually served in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
