About our Christmas hog roast in Cranmore
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. On the menu are roast turkey, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for lights switch-on evenings and staff Christmas do’s.
Near Cranmore, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.

About the food
Roast turkey
Roast turkey gives a Christmas party a traditional touch, with the pork and crackling too.
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.

With sunset at about 4:00pm in December, most Christmas parties in Cranmore are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.

Christmas catering near Cranmore
Cranmore is about 6 miles south-east of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. A hog roast suits Christmas parties around Cranmore, whatever the venue. Cranmore is one of 125 towns and villages in the Isle of Wight where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Cranmore to Southampton (about 14 miles away).
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Shalfleet Church of England Primary School, suit a hog roast. The coast is within about 5 miles of Cranmore, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Christmas parties anywhere in PO41 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. We can cater a Christmas party on streets such as Solent Road, East Close and Cranmore Avenue or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to Christmas parties in Hamstead (1 mile north-east), Shalfleet (1 mile south-east), Bouldnor (1 mile west), Yarmouth (2 miles west) and Thorns Beach (4 miles north).

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
