Christmas hog roast for Bankside
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we’ve agreed, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Sunset in Bankside in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
