Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
