A big birthday deserves a centrepiece, and a hog roast in the garden fits the bill. Your guests will smell it from the street. For back-garden get-togethers and engagement parties, we’ll put together a menu of a vegan burger or sausage, rotisserie chicken and coleslaw and more.
Country parties near Temple Ewell suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
