Christmas hog roast in North Oxford, carved to order
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Whether it is festive open evenings and festive family get-togethers, we can cook rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce.
For a Christmas get-together near North Oxford, a hog roast in the garden goes down well. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
