About our Christmas hog roast in Bramshill
For a work Christmas party in Bramshill, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. On the menu are apple sauce, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for christmas fairs and club and society Christmas parties.
In winter near Bramshill, we need firm ground and light. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
