What happens on the day
On the day, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. It then roasts slowly for several hours, worked back from your serving time. At a December wedding in Old Shoreham, it is dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
