Christmas hog roast for Frilford Heath
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, it is dark in Frilford Heath by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Before we arrive
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
