Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Label alternatives clearly
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.

About our Christmas hog roast in Anthill Common
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Anthill Common suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. We’re frequently asked to cater festive open evenings and christmas markets, serving rotisserie chicken, crackling and roast potatoes.
In winter near Anthill Common, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
