About our Christmas hog roast in Hound Green
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We will need light around the serving area. Popular choices include apple sauce, crackling and roast potatoes, and we are often booked for december open days and club and society Christmas parties.
Near Hound Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
