Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Chineham
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. For new Year parties and festive open evenings, we’ll put together a menu of roast potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
At a festive party in Chineham, hot rolls from the roaster go down well. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
About the food
Roast turkey
Roast turkey gives a Christmas party a traditional touch, served alongside the pork and crackling.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
