About our Christmas hog roast in Longfield
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We serve roast turkey, halloumi skewers and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for winter fairs and markets and december open days.
Near Longfield, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Count who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
We set up while it’s still light, and cook into the evening.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
