Christmas hog roast in How Green, carved to order

For a Christmas party near How Green, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Add dietary questions to the invite
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, and cook into the evening.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
