Christmas hog roast in West Meon
Christmas hog roast in West Meon, slow-roasted on site
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in West Meon. We are often asked to cater winter open days and boxing Day and New Year gatherings, with roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
For a Christmas party near West Meon, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
