Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Horsebridge
For a work Christmas party in Horsebridge, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. Whether it’s work Christmas parties and end-of-term celebrations, we can cook roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls and more.
Near Horsebridge, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Questions from Horsebridge
Do you come out to small places like Horsebridge?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
What’s the nearest station to Horsebridge?
The closest is Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, roughly 3.2 miles away.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do December dates go quickly?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
- Vehicle access close by
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Working with your venue

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
What you get with us
- An itemised quote
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too

Full catering or machine hire?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
