What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. For a summer hog roast day in Neatham, 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.
