Christmas hog roast for Lambourn Woodlands
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Lambourn Woodlands
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so ask early. We serve roast potatoes, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers, and we’re frequently booked for festive family get-togethers and office Christmas parties.
For a Christmas party near Lambourn Woodlands, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

What happens on the day
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In December, it is dark in Lambourn Woodlands by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.

Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
A hog roast compared with other options
