Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Larkfield
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Larkfield, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it is cold outside. On the menu are halloumi skewers, crackling and rotisserie chicken, and typical bookings are for between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and family Christmas gatherings.
Near Larkfield, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
