A hog roast or other catering?
For a Christmas fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Foxcotte questions
Is Foxcotte too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Which station is closest to Foxcotte?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do December dates go quickly?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays often have more availability.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.

Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, it’s dark in Foxcotte by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

- We set up under cover in daylight.

- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
How to get a price
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or SP10 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Use our quote form.
