Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Petworth
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We’ll need light around the serving area. Typical bookings include december open days and end-of-term celebrations, serving roast turkey, crackling and apple sauce.
In winter near Petworth, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
