Stuffing and apple sauce
Stuffing and a dollop of apple sauce make the roll, just as they should.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day. In Lower Eashing, December daylight ends around 3:55pm, so winter hog roast days are best kept to lunchtime.

- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
- An activities lead or manager as contact
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
