How our Christmas hog roast works in Blackfield
Swap the set menu for a hog roast at your Christmas party in Blackfield: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. On the menu are roast potatoes, crackling and halloumi skewers, and typical bookings are for winter fairs and markets and work Christmas parties.
At a festive party in Blackfield, a hog roast in the garden goes down well on a dark December evening. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, and sides go out at the same time. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. Sunset in Blackfield in late December is about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

Which station is closest to Blackfield?
Hamble station, about 4.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How do we prepare?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Is lighting needed?
It gets dark early, so we’ll sort lighting together.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
