Sure, yes, the turkey is the great showstopper at Christmas time. The king of the festive feast, the crown of the Christmas caterer, the favoured roast that all else on the Christmas table spurns out from. And at Hog Roast Chesterfield, we have plenty of love for the Christmas turkey – we are a roast catering specialist, after all. But when it comes to Christmas we can’t also help but keep one eye on the many incredible desserts that pass on through at this time of year only. So many incredible delights that we reserve to one sole period of the year and then forget about again for another 12 months until there is an excuse to bring them out.
So forgetting the turkey dinner for one moment: let’s talk about the best Christmas desserts and which you might want at your festive Hog Roast Chesterfield event.
We all have our favourites. For some, the simplicity of the humble mince pie cannot be beaten. Fruity and tasty, a good dusting of sugar powder, the mince pie is the simple workhorse of Christmas, but it’s value cannot be understated. There’s a reason we at Hog Roast Chesterfield leave one mince pie out on Christmas eve for Santa, and a carrot for Rudolph. Even ol’ Nicholas himself loves a good homemade mince pie from Hog Roast Chesterfield!
Our festive menu also comes with the traditional Yule log. Ours is oh so chocolatey and shows that perfect cross section swirl when you cut it open – even Paul Hollywood would be proud! It’s a longstanding tradition for a reason, and one that we at Hog Roast Chesterfield are certainly in no hurry to forget anytime soon. If you’re a traditionalist, this may be the one to add to your festive order today.
You can never go amiss with a good trifle, either. The beauty of the trifle is that you can also mix it up however you like. Make additions to suit your tastes, make it as big or small as you want, pile on the custard or leave it as thin layer that compliments the rest. It’s the dessert for those that just want to dive into something delicious!
So, when it comes to your festive dining with Hog Roast Chesterfield this Christmas, which dessert are you going to be ending on? Let us know!
