A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Summer events in Wickhambreaux have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.

Getting ready for the day

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
