Christmas hog roast for Tye
Christmas hog roast in Tye, slow-roasted on site
Festive events of all kinds around Tye suit a hog roast. For lights switch-on evenings and end-of-year team celebrations, we can cook halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and apple sauce and more.
Near Tye, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Count who does not eat pork
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
We pack up whatever the weather.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- Light by the serving table
- A short route for our equipment
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
