About our Christmas hog roast in Teasley Mead
Festive events of all kinds around Teasley Mead suit a hog roast. For family Christmas gatherings and end-of-year team celebrations, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, crackling and apple sauce.
In a small place like Teasley Mead, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you’re ready to eat.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
