Slow-roasted pork in Pittswood
How our Christmas hog roast works in Pittswood
For a work Christmas party in Pittswood, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. We’re often asked to cater work Christmas parties and winter open days, serving crackling, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Pittswood, we need firm ground and light. Our staff serve and clear, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Ideally:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Light by the serving table
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
