About our Christmas hog roast in Stockland Green
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. For winter open days and christmas fairs, we can cook roast turkey, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Stockland Green, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. You will know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
