December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. Typical bookings include society Christmas socials and christmas family parties, with halloumi skewers, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
In Badger Farm, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
