About the food
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: crisp, golden and full of flavour, straight off the hog.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In Lower Common, summer evenings stay light until about 9:25pm, so an after-work hog roast works well in summer. In late September, the light goes at about 7:05pm.
