How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. For a summer hog roast day in High Wycombe, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In December, with dark by about 3:55pm, lunchtime is best.

The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Request thin slices
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Count residents who need an alternative
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Serving on plates is often easier.
