Christmas hog roast in Four Ashes, carved to order
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Whether it is staff Christmas do’s and end-of-year team celebrations, we will put together a menu of crackling, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes and more.
In winter near Four Ashes, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
