About our Christmas hog roast in Singlewell or Ifield
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. For between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and society Christmas socials, we can cook roast potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Near Singlewell or Ifield, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Planning the cooking spot

- Indoor space for eating
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
