How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For a summer hog roast day in Kiln Green, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden events easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
