Christmas hog roast in West Cross
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in West Cross
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in West Cross, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it is cold outside. On the menu are roast turkey, apple sauce and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas fairs and winter open days.
In winter near West Cross, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish before you book.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, depending on the season and the occasion.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.

For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
