Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Clear of bedroom windows
- A dining room, lounge or shaded garden
- An activities lead or manager as contact
