Christmas hog roast in Odiham, slow-roasted on site
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Whether it is boxing Day and New Year gatherings and staff Christmas do’s, we can cook rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and apple sauce and more.
In Odiham, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How it works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. Christmas parties in Odiham are almost always after dark: sunset is about 4:00pm in December. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
