Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- The landowner’s or council’s agreement
- A firm way on and off the field
- Flat, firm ground for the roaster
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the roaster
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Hog roast rolls
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
- Coleslaw
- Stuffing and apple sauce
