The Big Christchurch Hog Roast Event

Welcome to Dorset Hog Roast and BBQ's - Christchurch

Christchurch, rich in heritage and culture, boasts two rivers, a castle, a beautiful 11th Century Priory and a mill of Saxon origin. Christchurch Quay overlooks the pretty Harbour, great for riverside walks. Christchurch is uniquely situated on the shores of its own harbour, close to the magnificent Dorset World Heritage Coast and the tranquil New Forest National Park.

The mix of fascinating heritage, beautiful coastline and countryside and wide variety of attractions provide all the ingredients to make your hog roast extra special. With a great range of accommodation, a wealth of things to see and do plus a variety of food festivals and events there is something to suit everyone whatever your age or taste

So we can provide the most succulent and tender hog roasts possible, we roast the pig for ten hours. This produces ‘pulled pork’ which literally falls off the bone and the crackling is also as good as it gets!

View our Christchurch customers recommendations (yes, real people!) who all praise our fantastic hog roast.

Because we roast our hogs for twice as long as most other caterers, it would be impractical to cook from start on site so we start spit roasting at our premises then transport the roasting hog in the oven to the event where it continues roasting until serving.

This process is also much less intrusive because we do not need all day access however the guests still experience the unique sight and aroma of roasting hog.

Due to the use of a top quality marquee, the hog roast experience can still be guaranteed if it rains. The hog can be roasted outside then taken indoors for serving.

It is important that you let us have an accurate guest number so that a suitable hog can be provided to ensure that all your guests are well fed.

200gms of meat per person is ample. A typical hog of 55kgs provides about 65% of delicious meat or about 35.75 kilos which is around 357gms for an event of a hundred guests, ensuring lots of seconds!
