Gosport: your questions answered
Is Gosport too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.

About 67 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How early should we book for Christmas?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Do you do Christmas fairs?

Can you work around our timings?

Is mains power needed?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Christmas hog roast in Gosport, slow-roasted on site
Festive events of all kinds around Gosport suit a hog roast, from small teams to big crowds. We are frequently asked to cater club and society Christmas parties and family Christmas gatherings, with roast potatoes, roast turkey and halloumi skewers.
For a Christmas party near Gosport, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls.
Space, access and the venue
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Parking near the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Step by step
People love watching the carving: the hog is carved in front of your guests, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. Sunset in Gosport in late December is 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.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
How to prepare
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Christmas parties in Gosport: local tips
Gosport is about 2 miles east of Romsey, in Hampshire. Wherever your Christmas party is in Gosport, we can bring the roaster, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. Gosport is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we cater. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 6 miles away.
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St Mark draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. A winter fair at a school like Ampfield Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.

What affects the price in Gosport
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The journey to the venue
- The number of people
- Season and day of the week
- Site access
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
Here’s what we will ask:
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers

A quote from us sets out the menu, timings, staffing and what’s included, so you can compare caterers fairly. Fill in our quote form.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty, straight off the hog.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We serve hot rolls on cue, carved fresh.
China crockery is available on request.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
