The fire was prepared early to get the and stones nice and hot.
Once cooked the pig is removed from the spit
and placed in our a purpose built tray until we are ready to carve and serve.
Our big secret ingredient is of course Nigella Lawso... I mean music...
Our eco-cooler (the stream) did a great job of chilling the wine and I'd just like to state for the record, that I was placing wine in the water and hadn't consumed too much.
The kids at the event were queueing up to learn how to carve the pig and all children were returned to their parents with all fingers counted and intact.
The pork was juicy and succulent with some excellent crackling. The meat was accompanied by roast vegetables with herbs and generous helpings of apple sauce. So all in all a very successful first roast. I can report that a number of people (names withheld to protect the guilty) had third helpings!
