How our Christmas hog roast works in West Lavington
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in West Lavington suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. Popular choices include crackling, halloumi skewers and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater christmas lights switch-ons and december open days.
For a Christmas party near West Lavington, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.

What comes off the roaster

Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
