How our Christmas hog roast works in Fairbourne Heath
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and crackling, and we’re often booked for lights switch-on evenings and new Year parties.
In winter near Fairbourne Heath, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Sunset in Fairbourne Heath in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
