Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Tidworth
We plan for winter weather: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. For winter fairs and markets and year-end thank-yous, we will put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, roast turkey and hog roast rolls for your guests.
At a festive party in Tidworth, a hog roast in the garden goes down well. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.

Tidworth in December: what to know
Tidworth is about 8 miles west of Andover, in Hampshire. We take a hog roast for your Christmas party to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Tidworth. Tidworth is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Tidworth to Southampton (25 miles away).
If a church like Church of the Holy Trinity is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. The A338 and A3026 make Tidworth easy to reach on a dark winter evening.
We bring hog roasts to Christmas parties all over SP9. Local streets include Station Road, Pennings Road and Ebble Close; a Christmas party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. With the A338 and A3026 close by, Tidworth is simple for us to get to for your Christmas party. Neighbouring places where we cater Christmas parties include Perham Down (1 mile east), Ludgershall (2 miles north-east), Shipton Bellinger (2 miles south), Great Shoddesden (2 miles east) and Kimpton (3 miles east). Further out, we also cater in Andover (8 miles east), Whitchurch (14 miles east), East Anton (9 miles east), Picket Piece (10 miles east), Picket Twenty (9 miles east) and Finkley Down (10 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Ludgershall Castle (2.2 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Quarley Hill.
- Nearby schools include Clarendon Infants' School (under half a mile south-east)
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Tidworth hosts choose us
- Planned to your running order
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- No surprises: everything in writing
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

Questions from Tidworth
Is Tidworth close to London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
Do you bring plates?
Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Cooking is always outdoors; guests can eat inside.
Can you work around our timings?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. We look for:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A short route for our equipment

What affects the price in Tidworth
Things that change the price:
- Numbers
- Site access
- Whether you want china
- Distance from us
What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, tell us:
- Dietary requirements
- Rough numbers
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- The date and time of the event
It’s easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. You’ll get a clear quote listing what’s included. Use our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. Late-December sunset in Tidworth comes at about 4:00pm. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve pork, turkey and sides.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your guests

Full catering or machine hire?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
