Christmas hog roast in Pearson's Green, carved to order
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. We are frequently asked to cater winter open days and christmas fairs, with rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and crackling.
In a small place like Pearson's Green, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Sunset in Pearson's Green in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

About the food
Roast turkey
A carved roast turkey makes it feel like Christmas, served alongside the pork and crackling.

A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
