Christmas hog roast in Baughurst
About our Christmas hog roast in Baughurst
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Baughurst. We serve hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and roast turkey, and typical bookings are for end-of-year team celebrations and family Christmas gatherings.
In a small place like Baughurst, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. 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.

What else we do in Baughurst
The menu, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we’ll plan it with you.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A short route for our equipment
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
