Slow-roasted pork in Neithrop
The process
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and in December Neithrop is dark by about 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- We start with the location, call times and numbers.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We agree our position at base with the location manager.
- When lunch is called, we carve and serve quickly.
- We pack up and leave the base tidy.
How to prepare
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
