Christmas hog roast in Lymore, slow-roasted on site
For a work Christmas party in Lymore, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. For society Christmas socials and end-of-year team celebrations, we will put together a menu of halloumi skewers, crackling and apple sauce.
For a Christmas party near Lymore, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Distance from us
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Access to the cooking area
- The serving time and how long we are on site
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.

Catered or do it yourself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Step by step
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. By about 4:05pm in late December, Lymore is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We check the outdoor cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- We carve and serve hot on cue.
- We clear away whatever the weather.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains

Common questions in Lymore
Is Lymore too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Lymore?
The closest is Lymington Town station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we’ll quote.
Do guests have to eat outside?
The roaster stays outside under cover; guests can eat inside.
Do you need lighting?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Organising for someone else?
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Count who does not eat pork
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
