About our Christmas hog roast in Underling Green

In winter near Underling Green, we need firm ground and light. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.

Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
