Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Kensington

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why us?
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Planned to your running order
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Step by step
We get there well ahead of service, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell usually brings people over long before we carve. A lunchtime Christmas party in Kensington is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it is light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
