Here at Hog Roast Barleythorpe we know we have the best roasts in all of catering. We wouldn’t have had customers coming to us again and again gushing over our hog roasts for several decades if we didn’t. So, for your own roasts home to impress friends and family, here are the steps we take to make a perfect hog roast at every one of our events:
Shop Local!
A
t Hog Roast Barleythorpe we go to lengths to find quality local stocks that we trust to provide premium grade meats. We put a lot of time into sourcing quality local stocks in every area that our franchises cater in to ensure that we not only get the best of the best, but that they will be fresh when they come to us too. Freshness is such a huge part of making any quality roast, so the more you can ensure that freshness the better.
For you at home it might be a good idea to head to your local butcher and ask about their selection. For us, local is always the best and you’ll be able to learn about which meats they have just brought in that day.
The Perfect Roast Needs Time
The next key ingredient is time. Yes, time. Rome wasn’t built in a day and all that, and neither will your roast if you try rushing it. Slow roasting is the name of the game, so give yourself plenty of time, that way you can allow the roast to stay nice and tender throughout the entire cooking process. The old wife’s tale of dry roasts will only happen if you rush things along too much!
Use the Best Equipment Around
The real secret to getting a perfect roast is in using one of Hog Roast Barleythorpe’s very own state-of-the-art roasting machines. You can of course use an oven, but for us an oven roast rarely gets as results as good as a proper spit roasted pig. Thankfully, you can rent or even purchase one of our machines for yourself!
With our hog roasting machines you can all but guarantee perfect roasts every single time! Plus, they are easy enough to use and you get full training with your local Hog Roast Barleythorpe team!
