Christmas hog roast in Stone
Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Christmas hog roast in Stone, slow-roasted on site
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Stone suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. Whether it’s festive family get-togethers and staff Christmas do’s, we can cook rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and hog roast rolls for your guests.
For a Christmas party near Stone, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Questions from Stone
Is Stone too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you provide china?
We supply plates as standard. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
How much room do you need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
