About our Christmas hog roast in Murston
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Murston suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. Typical bookings include december open days and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, serving hog roast rolls, crackling and rotisserie chicken.
For a Christmas get-together near Murston, hot rolls from the roaster go down well. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
