Christmas hog roast in North Fareham, slow-roasted on site
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. We’re often asked to cater society Christmas socials and christmas markets, serving crackling, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
For a Christmas party near North Fareham, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will give you the allergen information for every dish.
Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in North Fareham
Is North Fareham close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London.
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Hours rather than minutes. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.

Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
