Christmas hog roast in Boldre, slow-roasted on site
Festive events of all kinds around Boldre suit a hog roast. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, crackling and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater festive family get-togethers and december open days.
In a small place like Boldre, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
A closer look at the menu
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Count who does not eat pork
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Boldre
Can you roast near the sea around Boldre?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Boldre?
Lymington Town station, about 1.5 miles south-east of the centre.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Sunset in Boldre in late December is about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
