Christmas hog roast for Lee-on-the-Solent
How our Christmas hog roast works in Lee-on-the-Solent
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. We roast outdoors under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Lee-on-the-Solent. Typical bookings include between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and late-night shopping events, serving halloumi skewers, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
At a festive party in Lee-on-the-Solent, hot rolls from the roaster go down well. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before you book. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
For workplace bookings, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We work to the site’s rules.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
China crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Full catering or machine hire?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking 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.
