About our Christmas hog roast in Capstone
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. Whether it’s family Christmas gatherings and club and society Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and halloumi skewers for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Capstone, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count who does not eat pork
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
How the day works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Sunset in Capstone in late December is about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Send final numbers in good time
