Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
The process
Expect a calm, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. At a December wedding in Hickmans Green, it is dark by about 3:50pm, so the route from the reception to the hog roast needs lighting.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- You get a quote listing menu, staff and plates.
- The venue and we agree where the roaster goes.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
How to prepare
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
