Christmas hog roast in Crouch, slow-roasted on site
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Whether it is new Year parties and end-of-term celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce for your guests.
In a small place like Crouch, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. In December, it is dark in Crouch by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
