Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Bramshaw
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Bramshaw suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it is cold outside. For end-of-term celebrations and sports club Christmas do’s, we can cook apple sauce, roast turkey and crackling and more.
Near Bramshaw, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Planners, venues and businesses

What we serve, dish by dish

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, and we will plan it with you.
