A closer look at the menu
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.
Crackling
Crackling is what people queue for: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Step by step
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Planning an evening hog roast in Whitegrove? Sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
