Planning a hog roast in MK2
There are 3 towns and 0 villages and hamlets in MK2, so the setting can be anything from Bletchley, Bletchley and Fenny Stratford and Fenny Stratford to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Bletchley and Fenny Stratford: A green space like Waterhall Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s. If you are gathering after a service at a church like Water Eaton Church Centre, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Late September evenings in Bletchley and Fenny Stratford lose the light at about 7:05pm, and in December it’s nearer 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the serving area.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two.
