Christmas hog roast for St Leonards
How our Christmas hog roast works in St Leonards
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. We serve roast turkey, apple sauce and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater boxing Day and New Year gatherings and end-of-term celebrations.
In St Leonards, a hog roast is a welcome change at Christmas. Keep the cooking spot close and well lit. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
