About our Christmas hog roast in Charlton
For a work Christmas party in Charlton, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. For new Year parties and staff Christmas do’s, we will put together a menu of apple sauce, crackling and roast potatoes.
For a Christmas party near Charlton, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Charlton: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Charlton?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Charlton?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
Can you work around our timings?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Give us a contact on the day and we will adjust.
Do you cover Charlton?
Yes, Charlton is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Is lighting needed?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
What we serve, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
Rotisserie chicken
For guests who do not eat pork, rotisserie chicken is the easy answer, and children usually like it too.
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.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to:
- Site access
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- An estimate of numbers
- Anything the venue has asked for
Send us the date, the address or SP10 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We’ll check the date and send a quote. Use our quote form.
Working with your venue
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and pass on anything they need from us.
- Roasted slowly at your venue, outdoors and under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
