A hog roast near Dumpford
Christmas hog roast in Dumpford, carved to order
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. For winter fairs and markets and club and society Christmas parties, we can cook halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In winter near Dumpford, we need firm ground and light. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Dumpford: your questions answered
Is Dumpford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
Do you come to Dumpford?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Dumpford and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can the food be served indoors?
The roaster stays outside under cover; guests can eat inside.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What comes with the hog roast?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
