About our Christmas hog roast in Hitchambury
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. For society Christmas socials and family Christmas gatherings, we can cook apple sauce, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls and more.
For a Christmas party near Hitchambury, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is frequently better value. A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why Hitchambury hosts choose us
- No surprises: everything in writing
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
