How our Christmas hog roast works in West Hythe
Swap the set menu for a hog roast at your Christmas party in West Hythe: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. Typical bookings include work Christmas parties and sports club Christmas do’s, with crackling, roast potatoes and roast turkey.
Near West Hythe, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. 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.
