About our Christmas hog roast in Stubbington
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Stubbington suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. On the menu are roast potatoes, roast turkey and apple sauce, and we’re frequently booked for festive open evenings and end-of-year team celebrations.
Around Stubbington, Christmas parties are frequently at home, the village hall or a club. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. You will know what’s included before booking: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed.
What happens on the day
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. In December, it’s dark in Stubbington by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Some ideas:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Send the allergen list round before the party
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, and we will plan it with you.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
