Christmas hog roast in Heathfield
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Heathfield
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Heathfield suit a hog roast stall: warm rolls when it is cold outside. Whether it’s new Year parties and christmas markets, we’ll put together a menu of roast potatoes, roast turkey and hog roast rolls and more.
In Heathfield, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. We need firm ground and some light. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

There is no fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Site access

Planning a Christmas party in Heathfield
Heathfield is about 1 mile west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Heathfield is well within our area for Christmas parties. Heathfield is one of 683 towns and villages in Hampshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Heathfield to Southampton (about 9 miles away).
If a church like St Columba is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. If people are coming by rail, Fareham station, about 0.9 miles east, is the nearest station. The coast is within about 5 miles of Heathfield, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
Christmas parties anywhere in PO15 and PO14 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and roughly how many guests. Your Christmas party could be at a house on Oak Road, Peak Lane and The Avenue or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
A hog roast compared with other options
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
