Blendworth in December: what to know
Blendworth is about 1 mile north-east of Horndean, in Hampshire. We cover Blendworth and its neighbours for Christmas parties. Blendworth is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we cater. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 18 miles away.
For anyone getting the train home after the party, Rowlands Castle station is about 2.1 miles away. A winter fair at a school like Horndean Church of England Junior School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: grilled halloumi with vegetables, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast turkey
Offer turkey and pork, and everyone’s happy, with roast potatoes on the side.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Questions from Blendworth
Is Blendworth too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Blendworth?
The closest is Rowlands Castle station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Is turkey available?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Label alternatives clearly
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.

Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Working with your venue
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In Blendworth, December daylight ends around 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
