The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Early starts matter for a hog roast at base, and winter daylight in Wanborough ends around 3:55pm, so we may set up under lights.
- Send us the location, dates and lunch time.
- We check access to base and quote.
- We set up at base and roast through the morning.
- We serve when lunch is called.
- We pack away straight after.
Getting ready for the day

- Send final numbers in good time
- Give us a contact number for the day
