How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Chilton Foliat is dark by about 4:00pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Production sends us the location and call times.
- We check access to base and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We clear our spot.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
