Christmas hog roast for Birdham
Christmas hog roast in Birdham, slow-roasted on site
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Birdham. We’re often asked to cater society Christmas socials and end-of-year team celebrations, with halloumi skewers, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey.
For a Christmas party near Birdham, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
