Christmas hog roast in Hyde
Christmas hog roast in Hyde, slow-roasted on site
Festive events of all kinds around Hyde suit a hog roast. On the menu are hog roast rolls, apple sauce and crackling, and typical bookings are for christmas lights switch-ons and festive family get-togethers.
Near Hyde, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Hyde
Do you come out to small places like Hyde?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you cover Hyde?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Hyde and the rest of Hampshire included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We’ll confirm our arrival time when we quote.
Is there a non-pork option?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What space does the roaster need?
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.
Can you roast in the rain?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
What we serve, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.

Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. We look for:

- A lit route to the food
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee suppliers usually set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Festive bookings around Hyde
Hyde is in Hampshire. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Hyde and the surrounding area. We bring hog roasts to 683 places in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 16 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Hyde Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Hyde is within about 7 miles of the New Forest National Park; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Anywhere in SP6, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Local streets include Gorley Lynch and Hyde Lane; a Christmas party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Nearby, we also cater Christmas parties in Hungerford (1 mile west), Frogham (1 mile north-east), North Gorley (1 mile west), Blissford (1 mile north-east) and Stuckton (1 mile north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Totton (11 miles east), Lymington (14 miles south-east), Romsey (13 miles north-east), New Milton (12 miles south-east), Ringwood (4 miles south) and Barton on Sea (12 miles south).
Other landmarks nearby include Godshill Castle Hill (2.5 miles north) and Fordingbridge Doll Museum (1.7 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Blashford Lakes and Linbrook Lake.
- Nearby schools include The Burgate School and Sixth Form (2.2 miles north-west)
Allergies and dietary needs
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
Give us a contact for the evening.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
What happens on the day
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power; a nearby socket helps with lights if service runs into the evening. In December, it is dark in Hyde by about 4:05pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We tidy up and leave.
Preparing for the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
