Christmas hog roast for Bouldnor
About our Christmas hog roast in Bouldnor
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. On the menu are crackling, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and office Christmas parties.
For a Christmas party near Bouldnor, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and it suits fussy eaters.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness go with the pork perfectly. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.

Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Parking near the cooking area
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
Bouldnor is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There is no one-size price, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Bouldnor hosts choose us

Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
What else we do in Bouldnor
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planners, venues and businesses
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
