Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Cop Street
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. For christmas lights switch-ons and work Christmas parties, we can cook roast potatoes, hog roast rolls and apple sauce for your guests.
In winter near Cop Street, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
