Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Petersfield
Christmas get-togethers can mean plenty of people, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. On the menu are halloumi skewers, crackling and roast turkey, and we are often booked for winter fairs and markets and christmas family parties.
In a town like Petersfield, a Christmas party might be at the office, a club or home. The roaster needs a level, lit spot outside. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
