A hog roast near Highleigh
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Late May in Highleigh has light until about 8:50pm, so residents and families can stay outside late.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We check the grounds and send a price.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

- Access to the cooking area
