Christmas parties in Long Hanborough: local tips
Long Hanborough is about 5 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. From village halls to gardens and fields, Christmas parties around Long Hanborough suit a hog roast. We cater all 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Long Hanborough to Oxford (about 9 miles away).
Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Christ Church draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. A winter fair at a school like Hanborough Manor CofE School gets dark early, so hot food is popular.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children normally like it too.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Parking near the cooking area
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
