Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

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.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

Late-December sunset in Church Street comes at about 3:50pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
