Christmas hog roast for Hodsoll Street
Christmas hog roast in Hodsoll Street, carved to order
For a work Christmas party in Hodsoll Street, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. On the menu are halloumi skewers, apple sauce and crackling, and we are regularly asked to cater christmas markets and end-of-term celebrations.
In winter near Hodsoll Street, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast turkey
Turkey and pork together cover traditionalists and crackling fans alike.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
