About our Christmas hog roast in Piddinghoe
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. There are options for people who don’t eat pork. Whether it’s office Christmas parties and end-of-year team celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of crackling, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Piddinghoe, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours.
