Christmas hog roast in Chapel Row
About our Christmas hog roast in Chapel Row
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. Typical bookings include work Christmas parties and winter fairs and markets, serving crackling, apple sauce and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Chapel Row, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
