Christmas hog roast for Old Woking
About our Christmas hog roast in Old Woking
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Old Woking, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it is cold outside. Typical bookings include work Christmas parties and winter open days, with roast turkey, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls.
For a Christmas party near Old Woking, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why us?
- Our staff serve and clear
- Served at the time you choose
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- Sides to make it a full meal
