Christmas hog roast in South Hayling, slow-roasted on site
Swap the set menu for a hog roast at your Christmas party in South Hayling: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. For family Christmas gatherings and late-night shopping events, we will put together a menu of hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and roast turkey.
In South Hayling, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
