A hog roast near South Gorley
How our Christmas hog roast works in South Gorley
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in South Gorley, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. Typical bookings include office Christmas parties and society Christmas socials, serving halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and crackling.
Near South Gorley, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A hall, office or heated marquee for guests
- Vehicle access close by
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.

South Gorley questions
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is South Gorley too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
What comes with the hog roast?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Midweek dates are easier.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We’ll give you full allergen information for every dish.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Count who does not eat pork
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.
Roast turkey can be added.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. The cheapest quote isn’t always the best value.
Why us?
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- A clear quote with everything listed
