About our Christmas hog roast in Crockham Hill
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We’ll need light around the serving area. For festive open evenings and lights switch-on evenings, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
In winter near Crockham Hill, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
What comes off the roaster
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Vegan guests can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who don’t eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children generally like it too.
