Christmas hog roast in Palm Bay, slow-roasted on site
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who don’t eat pork. For christmas markets and lights switch-on evenings, we can cook rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes and more.
In a small place like Palm Bay, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
