How it works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. Evening parties in Wickham Common need a little planning: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:10pm. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.

A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
