In the UK, the tradition of pig roasting, more commonly known as a Hog Roast, helps to create a sense of occasion, particularly parties and celebrations. Pig Roast or a Hog Roast is most of the time an outdoor event, either to roast on a spit, turning the pig under a flame, or in a large oven in a roasting pan. It is usually covered in cider and bay leaves.

In the UK, the tradition of pig roasting, more commonly known as a Hog Roast, helps to create a sense of occasion, particularly parties and celebrations. Pig Roast or a Hog Roast is most of the time an outdoor event, either to roast on a spit, turning the pig under a flame, or in a large oven in a roasting pan. It is usually covered in cider and bay leaves. Salt is rubbed into the scored skin to make the ‘crackling’, which many describe as mouth watering.

A beloved British tradition is one of the most practical ways to create an occasion for feeding a large group, which gathers around the roasting hog to take pleasure in the sights and aromas before enjoying a delicious and wholesome traditional meal.

A new sensation that’s sweeping the nation with a bang is back from the medieval world. Let’s picture a tender and juicy hog glistening with an apple in its mouth, images of women with curving locks and frocks, and men with jugs of ale and pink blushed cheeks. Isn’t this a view to die for?
The best thing about a hog or a pig roast is that it’s reasonably low maintenance, yet feeds an army of hungry people. A hog roast feeding up to hundred and twenty people, is what I call a perfect party! It’s really with one’s personal taste, when it comes to eating the hog roast. A soft white bap and apple sauce lathered on top of the piping hot meat sounds like heaven and nothing can beat it!

A leisurely relaxed cooking process that makes guests water at the mouth for a taste, takes up to approximately seven hours. It’s a perfect reason to please the crowd and make an event a memorable one.

Organise it with a theme and provide lots of fun filled activities to make everyone have the best day of their lives. This is exactly what everyone wants and needs.

Invite all your friends and neighbours well in advance. Send out invitations with a certain date. Decide what size pig you will need and how many side items and drinks to have for the amount of people you know are coming to your roast. A farm or company that sells a pig prepped, fully dressed and is ready to roast, is a great place to order from.

Make sure there is no grass or debris at the bottom of the roaster. Roast your pig as you normally would or as per any specific instructions given. Make sure you start your roast in plenty of time for your guests to eat, and whilst it is cooking away, it is the perfect time for families and friends to meet, talk and have a good time with each other.

Perfect for social gatherings, weddings or a family get together, hog parties with plenty of food, snacks and drinks for everyone, provided with lots of games and activities for the kids, as well as elders, always makes a pig roast the perfect occasion that ends up with a bang!
