How our Christmas hog roast works in Petteridge
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. Popular choices include roast potatoes, apple sauce and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for year-end thank-yous and family Christmas gatherings.
For a Christmas party near Petteridge, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
