How our Christmas hog roast works in Easton
From office parties to village Christmas fairs, we cater festive events around Easton. For christmas fairs and winter open days, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and rotisserie chicken.
For a Christmas party near Easton, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

Easton in December: what to know
Easton is about 6 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight. We cater Christmas parties of every size in Easton. We cater 125 places across the Isle of Wight. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 18 miles away.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as All Saints Church of England Primary School, suit a hog roast. With the sea within about a mile, December breezes can be cold.
Here we cover the PO40 postcode area, and we can cater your Christmas party anywhere in it. That could mean a Christmas party in a garden on Bay Road, Camp Road and Gate Lane or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. For Christmas parties just outside Easton, we cover Afton (1 mile east), Afton Park (1 mile east), Freshwater (1 mile north-west), Totland (1 mile west) and Colwell (1 mile north-west). Larger places within reach include Newport (10 miles east), Cowes (11 miles north-east), Shanklin (15 miles east), Ventnor (14 miles east), East Cowes (12 miles north-east) and Barton (10 miles east). Some remote sites need extra planning, so contact us in good time.

- Pubs nearby include The Red Lion pub (0.7 miles north)
- Other local spots include Medina (1.2 miles north-west)
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We work out each quote from:
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
- The number of people
- Travel to Easton
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: use our quote form.

Questions from Easton
Is Easton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: fill in our quote form.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Planning for dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Label alternatives clearly
We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll, just as they should.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: the hog is carved in front of your guests, with crackling for everyone who wants it. With sunset at about 4:05pm in December, most Christmas parties in Easton are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.

Getting ready for the day

How to get a price
