About our Christmas hog roast in Penny Pot
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We’re often asked to cater lights switch-on evenings and end-of-term celebrations, with roast potatoes, roast turkey and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Penny Pot, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
