Christmas hog roast in Burghclere

About our Christmas hog roast in Burghclere
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We’ll need light around the serving area. We’re often asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and society Christmas socials, with hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Near Burghclere, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
