How our Christmas hog roast works in Burley Street
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Whether it is office Christmas parties and winter fairs and markets, we can cook apple sauce, roast potatoes and halloumi skewers for your guests.
Near Burley Street, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
FAQs for Burley Street

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.

Burley Street in December: what to know
Burley Street is in Hampshire. We cater Christmas parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Burley Street and the surrounding area. We bring hog roasts to all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Burley Street to Southampton (15 miles away).
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Burley Primary School, hot rolls go down well. The New Forest National Park is within about a mile of Burley Street; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
This part of Hampshire takes in BH24, and we can cater your Christmas party anywhere in it. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Tyrells Lane, Ringwood Road and Forest Road, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Burley (1 mile south-east), Foulford (2 miles north-west), Forest Corner (2 miles north-west), Shobley (2 miles north-west) and Bagnum (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Totton (11 miles north-east), Lymington (9 miles south-east), Romsey (15 miles north-east), Hythe (14 miles east), New Milton (6 miles south) and Ringwood (3 miles west).
The countryside around Burley Street includes Linbrook Lake and Blashford Lakes.
- Local pubs include The Queen's Head pub (0.8 miles south-east)
How it works
The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. In December, it is dark in Burley Street by about 4:05pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
