Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Hungerford
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Hungerford too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Who serves?
You do not need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
How our Christmas hog roast works in Hungerford
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. For boxing Day and New Year gatherings and work Christmas parties, we will put together a menu of roast potatoes, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken.
For a Christmas party near Hungerford, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
