Hog Roast cooking is a long-time cooking style that stretches back centuries in the UK to even the days of the Saxons, wherein it was enjoyed as a festival treat and for great big community celebrations in towns and villages. All across the globe too many cultures have had their own version of the “pig roast” for a millennia, with varying styles that are generally used for event eating. It’s no wonder we at Hog Roast Royal Leamington Spa came to it for our specialist event catering services then when it has always been a staple across the whole world for events!
Why are so many cultures so enamoured by the hog roast then? Why has it endured through centuries as a great event dining meal? Well the answers are really quite simple when you both see and eat one: it is an event all of its own both for taste and spectacle! The traditional hog roast as enjoyed in the United Kingdom was done on a fire pit with the pig sat atop a spit, turning over hours. It was almost an exhibitionist event with the way the pig stood on this huge pit for the whole community to see. It was a great spectacle in its own right to watch being made, and if that wasn’t enough the taste it ultimately provides is somehow even better.
With the traditional hog roast being done over many hours throughout the day your meat has the proper time to really get to a level of perfection. Roast cooking can sometimes leave dry results, but with the turning action of the spit that meat’s juices are well circulated all throughout creating a baste that intensifies the flavour in every bite and ensures a tender juiciness like no other. Your pork comes to that melt in your mouth, flavoursome texture that you want, while the flame grilling around the outside of the pig gives you that perfect crisp skin, locking in your seasoning and the pork’s natural salty goodness. You end up with a lovely golden pig that is textured with a wonderful crispy skin and a delicious, tender inner meat. Delish!
