About our Christmas hog roast in Steeple Claydon
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, apple sauce and roast potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater year-end thank-yous and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers.
In Steeple Claydon, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
