About our Christmas hog roast in Davington
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. We serve hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for late-night shopping events and society Christmas socials.
Around Davington, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. We need firm ground and some light. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Roast turkey can be added.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
