Christmas hog roast in Lower Kingswood, carved to order
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Lower Kingswood. On the menu are roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater late-night shopping events and work Christmas parties.
In a small place like Lower Kingswood, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. 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.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a cold buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why us?
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
