How our Christmas hog roast works in Walderslade
From office parties to village Christmas fairs, we cater festive events around Walderslade. Typical bookings include christmas lights switch-ons and family Christmas gatherings, with crackling, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
Around Walderslade, Christmas parties are often at home, the village hall or a club. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Walderslade questions

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
