How our Christmas hog roast works in Havant
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and crackling, and we’re frequently booked for staff Christmas do’s and club and society Christmas parties.
In a town like Havant, a Christmas party might be at the office, a club or home. The roaster needs a level, lit spot outside. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before you book.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Late-December sunset in Havant comes at about 4:00pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- We carve and serve hot when you’re ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
How to get a price

Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Havant
Can you roast near the sea around Havant?
Yes, of course. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
What’s the nearest station to Havant?
The closest is Havant station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Is lighting needed?
It gets dark early, so we will sort lighting together.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We do not provide halal meat.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
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 you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning a Christmas party in Havant
Havant is about 18 miles east of Southampton, in Hampshire. Planning a hog roast for your Christmas party in Havant? We can help. We cover all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Havant to Southampton (18 miles away).
For colleagues travelling by train, Havant station, about 0.6 miles south, is the nearest station. A Christmas fair at St Francis or St Albans Church is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. With the sea within about 6 miles, December breezes can be cold, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
For Christmas parties in PO9, PO11 and PO7, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Streets in the area include Colemore Square, Market Parade and Juniper Square, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Being close to the A27 and A3(M), Havant is easy for us to reach. For Christmas parties just outside Havant, we cover Leigh Park (1 mile north), Denvilles (1 mile south-east), Durrants (2 miles north-east), Langstone (2 miles south) and Warblington (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Gosport (8 miles south-west), Fareham (9 miles west), Horndean (3 miles north), Hedge End (14 miles west), Petersfield (10 miles north) and Locks Heath (12 miles west). Being one of Hampshire’s larger places, Havant has plenty of venues, halls and workplaces.
A little further out are Havant War Memorial Hospital (0.6 miles south) and Havant Museum (0.9 miles south-east). Within reach you’ll find Southmoor Nature Reserve.
