Christmas hog roast in West Clandon, slow-roasted on site
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. We serve apple sauce, roast turkey and rotisserie chicken, and we are frequently booked for festive open evenings and festive family get-togethers.
In winter near West Clandon, we need firm ground and light. 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.
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
