Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Longmoor
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. Typical bookings include christmas lights switch-ons and work Christmas parties, with crackling, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes.
In a small place like Longmoor, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
Questions from Longmoor
How far is Longmoor from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Longmoor?
Liss station, about 2.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you clear up?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do December dates go quickly?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do you come to Longmoor?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Longmoor and Hampshire. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What happens in bad weather?
We roast under cover, so the food is not affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address so the quote is accurate.
Why us?
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Late-December sunset in Longmoor comes at about 4:00pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.

Preparing for the day

What affects the price in Longmoor
We do not use a fixed price list, since every event is different. What matters most:
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Your menu choices
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The address or postcode
- The date and time of the event
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of where the roaster could go helps us check the space. Use our quote form.
Longmoor in December: what to know
Longmoor is about 3 miles south of Bordon, in Hampshire. Hosts in Longmoor book us for Christmas parties of all sizes. We cater all 683 towns and villages in Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Guildford, about 18 miles away.
If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like Greatham Primary School, hot rolls go down well. The South Downs National Park is within about 6 miles of Longmoor; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
For Christmas parties in GU33, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests.

Other places close to Longmoor we cover include Greatham (1 mile west), Woolmer (1 mile north-west), Liss Forest (2 miles south-west), The Mint (2 miles south) and Blackmoor (2 miles north-west).

What we serve, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Halloumi and vegetable skewers are the vegetarian choice: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- Parking near the cooking area
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
