Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Winchfield Hurst

Near Winchfield Hurst, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

Winchfield Hurst questions
Can you do a hog roast in Calthorpe Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is Winchfield Hurst too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Send us the details.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat is not something we offer.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it is pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Request gluten-free rolls
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us about delays.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep you both updated.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Sides include salads, coleslaw, new potatoes and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
