Christmas hog roast in Dunsfold, carved to order
For a work Christmas party in Dunsfold, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. Whether it is festive family get-togethers and sports club Christmas do’s, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Dunsfold, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Organising for someone else?
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
