Planning an event in Batt's Corner?
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Christmas hog roast in Batt's Corner, carved to order
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. Whether it is new Year parties and club and society Christmas parties, we can cook roast potatoes, apple sauce and roast turkey and more.
In winter near Batt's Corner, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing generally contains gluten.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
