Our first very own Hog Roast

Another first for Ashton Keynes Pigs this year was using one of our pigs for a hog roast, another very exciting development.

The occasion was for the 20th Anniversary of Ashton Keynes Twinning Association with their twinned village of Grandchamps des Fontaine, near Nantes in France.  Now, given that the family twinned with Neil run their own restaurant and Edgar the dad is a very fine chef, as well as being very French (!) and the fact that this was to be the centrepiece for a meal for 120 people meant there was a lot of pressure to deliver not only great tasting food but a real performance of open air cooking.

Luckily we knew just the man in the shape of Nigel, second generation Hog Roaster!  He and his mate not only cooked our prize pig to perfection, but provided a great show in the process.

Our pig held up very well and there were a huge number of compliments from Nigel and diners about the quality (and quantity) of the meat.  We would thoroughly recommend this as a great spectacle for any events so contact us on ashtonkeynespigs@gmail.com for more information about how we can help make this possible for you.
