About our Christmas hog roast in Blissford
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. We serve roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey, and typical bookings are for end-of-year team celebrations and late-night shopping events.
In a small place like Blissford, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
For venues and planners, we can fit around your other suppliers.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. By about 4:05pm in late December, Blissford is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
