Christmas hog roast in Winsor
About our Christmas hog roast in Winsor
Add roast turkey alongside the hog, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. For december open days and end-of-term celebrations, we can cook halloumi skewers, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls.
Near Winsor, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours.

A closer look at the menu
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, straight from the roaster.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
For vegans, there’s a vegan burger or sausage in a roll, so nobody misses out.
Working with your venue
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.

Winsor questions
Which station is closest to Winsor?
Ashurst New Forest station, about 2.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you cater at venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do guests have to eat outside?
The roaster stays outside under cover; guests can eat inside.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What space does the roaster need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
