How our Christmas hog roast works in Hoath
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. On the menu are apple sauce, roast turkey and roast potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-term celebrations and late-night shopping events.
In a small place like Hoath, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Add dietary questions to the invite
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
