Christmas hog roast for Little Hoddington
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Little Hoddington
For a work Christmas party in Little Hoddington, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. Whether it’s family Christmas gatherings and late-night shopping events, we can cook halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Little Hoddington, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
