How it works
We get there well ahead of service, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. In Marston, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, 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.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then send a quote.
- We fit our timings around your running order and the venue.
- We cook through the day and serve right on cue.
- We clear away once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about tight access
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
