Christmas hog roast in Hampers Green, slow-roasted on site
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Whether it’s winter open days and late-night shopping events, we will put together a menu of crackling, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey for your guests.
In winter near Hampers Green, we need firm ground and light. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
