Book a hog roast in Hartley Mauditt
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer hog roast day in Hartley Mauditt, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime event is better.
