How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. For a summer hog roast day in Southcourt, 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.
