Christmas hog roast in Earley, slow-roasted on site
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We will need light around the serving area. For new Year parties and winter open days, we can cook roast turkey, hog roast rolls and apple sauce for your guests.
For a festive get-together in Earley, hot pork and turkey make a change from the usual. Plan lighting and a short route from the roaster to the party. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours.
