Slow-roasted pork in Well
About our Christmas hog roast in Well
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Well. We’re frequently asked to cater end-of-term celebrations and christmas markets, with halloumi skewers, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes.
In a small place like Well, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
Planning the cooking spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- A lit route to the food
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
