Droxford in December: what to know
Droxford is about 7 miles north-west of Horndean, in Hampshire. From village halls to gardens and fields, Christmas parties around Droxford suit a hog roast. Droxford is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Droxford to Southampton (11 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Droxford Junior School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.
Christmas parties anywhere in SO32 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. Local streets include High Street, Union Lane and The Park; a Christmas party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in.

How our Christmas hog roast works in Droxford
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. Typical bookings include end-of-year team celebrations and late-night shopping events, serving apple sauce, roast potatoes and crackling.
For a Christmas party near Droxford, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we pack away and leave the area as we found it.
What affects the price in Droxford
We work out each quote from:
- Season and day of the week
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Numbers
- Whether you want china
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, we’ll need:
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Allergies we should know about
- Where the event is
- Your date and serving time
To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A photo of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
For a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Organising for someone else?
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Can you cater outdoors in December?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
