Christmas in Torquay is a truly magical time. The seaside town glimmers with festive lights, the scent of mulled wine and mince pies drifts through the streets, and the excitement of seasonal celebrations fills the air. At Hog Roast Torquay, we love being part of that festive cheer, bringing warm, hearty food to parties, weddings, and family gatherings across the South Devon coast.
Our Christmas catering is all about comfort, flavour, and creating memories around the table. The star of the show is, of course, our whole roasted hog — slow-cooked to perfection until the crackling is golden and crisp, and the meat tender and juicy. Served fresh with our signature apple sauce and homemade sage and onion stuffing, it’s a centrepiece that never fails to impress. Guests can enjoy the hog with a selection of soft bread rolls and wraps, including gluten-free options to suit everyone.
No festive feast is complete without sides, and we make sure every plate is overflowing with seasonal delights. Think roasted new potatoes, buttered winter vegetables, creamy coleslaw, and fresh mixed salads. For larger events, we can also offer extras like pigs in blankets or festive stuffing balls, adding that extra touch of indulgence.
We never forget our vegetarian and vegan guests. Our grilled vegetable and halloumi skewers, served with wraps, tzatziki dip, and a sweet and punchy chilli sauce, are always a hit, and we also offer a fully vegan option with smoky BBQ jackfruit. Each dish is freshly made on-site, served hot, and designed to delight.
At Hog Roast Torquay, we handle everything for your Christmas event — from setting up the roaster and cooking the hog to serving your guests and clearing away afterwards. Everything is presented on eco-friendly wooden crockery and cutlery, giving your event a rustic, elegant feel while keeping it simple and stress-free.
Whether you’re hosting a company Christmas party, a winter wedding, or a festive family gathering, Hog Roast Torquay brings warmth, flavour, and a touch of seaside magic to your celebrations. The aroma of roasting pork, the laughter of friends and family, and the sparkle of festive lights create an unforgettable atmosphere that everyone will remember.
This Christmas, let Hog Roast Torquay take care of the food while you enjoy the festivities. Great food, great service, and a truly memorable experience — that’s what we bring to every table in Torquay.
To aid your planning with us, there are some things we may ask that you have an idea of ahead of your first discussion with us. Our team will need to know certain simple questions: what is the event for? What kind of style are you going for – formal, informal, outdoor dining or indoor, etc? What is your venue? How many guests are you looking to feed?
order for an Easter lunch to work. Seeing that the sun had decided to show up and spring began in earnest after the clocks went forward, our client thought it would be good for their staff team to be able to enjoy a lunchtime outside enjoying a delicious seasonal lunch. Hog Roast Stirling, of course, were all too happy to accommodate.

The last three weeks have seen Hog Roast Retford take on a slightly different shape for a lot of our catered events. While of course we are Hog Roast Retford: a roast pork and fine meat catering specialist, we have a lot of love for our vegan and veggie friends out there. During January, there is often a lot more of them too as many of us take on “Veganuary” (including some of the Hog Roast Retford team here. This is when people take the first month of the year to try either cut back on their meat consumption, or go fully vegetarian or even vegan for at least the full month of January. It coincides with other monthly trends, such as Dry January, where many of us take the first month of the year to try and refresh our lives for the better in one way or another.
We have a great time over the last three weeks prepping some truly incredible wholesale veggie and vegan menus for many events. Making such a drastic change in your diet can be challenging, especially when it comes to things like events where it may be easy to revert back for just one day only. But with our eye on providing as good as you get in our veggie and vegan menus as you would find in our more “typical” meaty menus, the challenge becomes just as delicious as the norm!
Another week in December goes by, and another slate of incredible festive events are fed and watered here at Hog Roast Shropshire! Halfway through the month and it feels like we’re barely just getting started! The Hog Roast Shropshire team have fired straight into the festive season without so much as missing a beat, showing that our Winter Refresher Training was the right move to ensure momentum keeps up from festive event to festive event without the quality of our service ever suffering!
We’ve had longtime customers who have come to us again and again, we’ve met entirely new friends that we hope to see again, and we have many more that we still can’t wait to come and see soon for even more festive fun. It’s great to be able to join corporate clients that we have catered for throughout the year for their Christmas parties. For us, it puts a nice bow on what has been a successful year with a client. For them…well we figure it means they know the kind of quality dining that their festive party is going to be getting! As for newer clients who have called us for Christmas time specifically – we hope you have enjoyed your time with us and may consider us again in the future. Hog Roast Shropshire isn’t just for Christmas; our catering is special all year round, too!
