How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day. Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Milton Keynes are dark by about 3:55pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- You tell us the event, the pitch and the expected crowd.
- You get a check on the date and pitch, and a quote.
- We set up early so the roast is ready when visitors arrive.
- We carve and serve through the agreed hours.
- We pack down, take our waste and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
