Christmas hog roast in Lower Burgate
Christmas hog roast in Lower Burgate, carved to order
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We’re often asked to cater christmas fairs and december open days, with roast turkey, crackling and apple sauce.
In winter near Lower Burgate, we need firm ground and light. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
