Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in West Silvertown
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We will need light around the serving area. Typical bookings include december open days and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers, with roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and roast turkey.
In West Silvertown, festive bookings tend to be at workplaces and homes. Tell us about lighting and access. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
