Christmas hog roast in West Dulwich, carved to order

How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. In December, it’s dark in West Dulwich by about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
