Christmas hog roast for Wishanger Common
Christmas hog roast in Wishanger Common, slow-roasted on site
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for christmas markets and christmas family parties.
Near Wishanger Common, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it is carved fresh as people come up.
What the cooking area needs
The right spot for the roaster makes everything easier. Look for:
- A short route for our equipment
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
