The process
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your residents, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. For a summer hog roast day in Walter's Ash, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
