Christmas hog roast in Kings Worthy, carved to order
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. We are often asked to cater club and society Christmas parties and family Christmas gatherings, with hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and crackling.
For a Christmas party near Kings Worthy, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The number of people
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
