Slow-roasted pork in Little Somborne
Christmas hog roast in Little Somborne, slow-roasted on site
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. We are often asked to cater christmas lights switch-ons and new Year parties, serving crackling, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In a small place like Little Somborne, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
