About our Christmas hog roast in Beaulieu

Beaulieu in December: what to know
Beaulieu is about 4 miles south-west of Hythe, in Hampshire. We set up the roaster at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Beaulieu and the surrounding area. Beaulieu is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Beaulieu to Southampton (7 miles away).
If a church like Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Beaulieu Village Primary School, suit a hog roast. The New Forest National Park is within about a mile of Beaulieu; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. With the sea within about 6 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
We bring hog roasts to Christmas parties all over SO42 and the streets around it. We can cater a Christmas party on streets such as High Street, Palace Lane and Hatchet Lane, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. Nearby, we also cater Christmas parties in Bailey's Hard (1 mile south-east), The Hummicks (1 mile south-east), Furzey Lodge (1 mile west), East Boldre (1 mile south-west) and Dibden Purlieu (3 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Gosport (13 miles east), Eastleigh (11 miles north-east), Fareham (11 miles east), Totton (7 miles north), Chandler's Ford (12 miles north) and Hedge End (9 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Lymington New Forest Hospital (5.4 miles south-west) and Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (within half a mile north-west).
- Pubs nearby include The Montagu Arms (under half a mile south-west)
Why choose a hog roast in Beaulieu?

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
