Hog Roast Haslemere of course names itself after the hog roast, but why exactly, you might ask?
The hog roast is a traditional dish dating back centuries. It has as history all across the world, but here in the UK it goes back to as far back as at least the Saxons wherein it was typically used to for community celebrations and local festivities, marking certain dates and seasons like Yuletide. It was ideal then because of its larger style of cooking, allowing many to be fed all at once while its fiery style could also keep a village warmer for a little while as well as providing some light entertainment for all to enjoy. While we of course now have far more to keep us entertained in the modern world, few can deny that a hog roast still looks magnificent in action.
That is precisely why Hog Roast Haslemere still favours this magnificent dish for events today. You can achieve similar results now with ovens and other means, but few compare to the extravagant spectacle of a proper spit roast. It’s just perfect for events when that something more is needed. Plus, for our money the spit roast style of cooking actually produces better quality results too in your meat. So often meat roasts have the association of dryness and lack of flavour. With the spit roast that association is nigh on impossible! The spit roast, done over hours keeps your meat perfectly juicy and flavoursome and crackling with crisp texturing for balance in your flavour.
How is this so? Well, it is really quite simple. Spit roast cooking works by getting your meat up on a spit over a bed of flames. The spit then turns constantly over the flames. This has the double benefit of giving a nice organic charring around the entirety of the meat’s skin, giving that beautiful crisp texturing and golden colouring that you want in a roast, while the meat inside can remain juicy. The turning action of the spit keeps the meat’s natural juices and flavouring circulating all throughout meaning no part of the meat can ever go dry. The result is tender juiciness and intense flavour that has marinated over hours in every bite! It’s quite simply the best way to cook any roast and with Hog Roast Haslemere it could be yours today for your next event!
