Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
Can the food be served indoors?
Cooking is always outdoors; serving can be indoors.
Do hog roasts work in winter?

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Will there be enough to go round?

For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
