Christmas hog roast in Nackington, carved to order
Fridays in December go first, so get in touch as soon as you know your date. On the menu are hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for family Christmas gatherings and winter open days.
In winter near Nackington, we need firm ground and light. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
