What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In late May, sunset in Wye is about 8:45pm, so a spring hog roast day can carry on into the evening.
- We start with the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve inside or out.
- We clear away quietly.
Before we arrive
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
