Step by step
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Because the roast starts early, and in December Frogham is dark by about 3:50pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Tell us the base location.
- We confirm where we set up.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.

Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
