How our Christmas hog roast works in Cheriton
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Typical bookings include winter open days and end-of-year team celebrations, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and roast turkey.
For a Christmas party near Cheriton, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. By about 4:00pm in late December, Cheriton is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.
