The process
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. In Herne, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.

- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- The roast starts early on site.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
How to prepare
