How our Christmas hog roast works in Monken Hadley
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Monken Hadley. Popular choices include roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for club and society Christmas parties and christmas lights switch-ons.
Around Monken Hadley, a Christmas booking needs a lit, covered outdoor cooking spot. In London, access needs planning, as December is busy on the roads. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
