Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Silchester
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We serve roast turkey, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater end-of-term celebrations and office Christmas parties.
In winter near Silchester, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. You will know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
