Christmas hog roast in Ickford
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Ickford
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we’re frequently booked for christmas fairs and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In a small place like Ickford, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
China crockery is available on request.

The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
