About our Christmas hog roast in East Lavington
For a work Christmas party in East Lavington, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. We’re often asked to cater winter open days and new Year parties, with crackling, halloumi skewers and roast turkey.
In a small place like East Lavington, December lanes are dark, 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.

What else we do in East Lavington
A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.

Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
Mix and match: turkey and pork together. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
