Christmas hog roast in Littlestead Green
About our Christmas hog roast in Littlestead Green
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We are frequently asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and christmas lights switch-ons, serving roast potatoes, roast turkey and crackling.
In winter near Littlestead Green, we need firm ground and light. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
China crockery is available on request.
Space, access and the venue
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
