You might be wondering, “How does the process work?” Well, let’s walk you through it. The journey to a perfect hog roast begins with selecting the ideal pig as this is crucial to the quality of the roast. The size and quality of the pig play a major role in ensuring the meat is tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Due to our high standards, we always expect the hog to be well-raised, and of the right weight for the number of guests you’re serving. Our pigs typically range from 40 to 100 kilograms, depending on your guest count, and we always ensure the meat has the perfect balance of lean muscle and fat. Why is this important? The fat helps keep the meat moist during the slow-roasting process, and when done right, it renders beautifully, giving the meat a rich, flavourful taste. What’s more, Hog Roast Ashford only source pigs from trusted local farmers who share our passion for raising livestock with care.
At Hog Roast Ashford, we are committed to quality, which is why we source our pigs from trusted local farmers who share our passion for raising livestock with care. This means you’ll always get the very best—fresh, high-quality meat that will make your hog roast the highlight of your event. Next comes the season. We typically dry rub the skin with salt, pepper and a range of herbs for that dose of extra flavour once it rotates on the spit. We have designed our very own hog roast machines which cook the meat to total perfection. When slow roasting, the pork is slow roasted over a moderate heat allows the fat to slowly render and infuse the meat with flavour, while ensuring the meat stays tender.
Typically, a hog roast can take anywhere from 4 to 8 hours, which requires a great deal of monitoring and skill. Too much heat can cause the skin to burn too quickly, while too low of a heat can cause the meat to remain raw, or even unevenly cooked.
