About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
What you get with us

- Timed around your day
- Carved to order by a chef
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Where the roaster can go in Lynsore Bottom

- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
