Christmas hog roast for Brockenhurst
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A lunchtime Christmas party in Brockenhurst is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
How to prepare
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Give us a contact number for the day

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
