About the food
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and it’s carved fresh as people come up.
Christmas hog roast in Stonehills, slow-roasted on site
We plan for winter weather: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We serve rotisserie chicken, roast potatoes and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and office Christmas parties.
For a Christmas party near Stonehills, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
FAQs for Stonehills
What’s the nearest station to Stonehills?
The closest is Hamble station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
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 will follow the site rules.
Where does the hog roast go?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
Do you need lighting?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
We cook outside, but can normally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.

Catered or do it yourself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is 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 hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
