Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Leagreen
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Leagreen suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. We serve crackling, roast potatoes and apple sauce, and we are frequently booked for staff Christmas do’s and family Christmas gatherings.
For a Christmas party near Leagreen, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours.
Leagreen in December: what to know
Leagreen is about 3 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. We cater Christmas parties across Leagreen and nearby. We cover all 683 towns and villages across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 15 miles away.
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of All Saints can book a hog roast stall. A winter fair at a school like Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. The New Forest National Park is within about 6 miles of Leagreen, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. The coast is within about 4 miles of Leagreen, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.

Questions from Leagreen
Do you come out to small places like Leagreen?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Leagreen?
New Milton station, about 2.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
What’s included?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.

The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your Christmas party in Leagreen. In December, it’s dark in Leagreen by about 4:05pm, 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.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We clear away, even on a dark, wet evening.
Getting ready for the day
- Gather dietary requirements early
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
What a hog roast costs
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The number of people
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
