Are you already thinking about this year’s Christmas season? We don’t blame you. When it comes to Christmas parties, you can never be too prepared. Often, the most popular dates and venues get booked out as soon as we enter a new year, so there’s no time like the present.
If you’re shopping for a Christmas party venue in Hampshire, consider The Hanger in Oakhanger. This historic building, which can be traced back to 1550, has so much beauty and charm within its bounds, including a beautiful garden area, and a modernised interior that features floor-to-ceiling windows. For the Christmas period, The Hanger will be decorated beautifully, to fit in with the festivities, so you won’t need to worry about forking out for trimmings.
Known as the home of a great roast dinner, Christmas party menus are sure to be great. Based on the Sunday roast selection, we’ve got a good idea of what you can expect to see. Small plates and bar snacks include a chipolata ring with sage mayo, bacon and crispy onions; a delicious fish cake with slow-poached eggs; and prosciutto crudo with pickled cucumber.
Starters have included wagyu fat poached scallops with pearl barley, roasted onion puree and caviar, and a potato and mushroom terrine with wild mushrooms, a hazelnut sauce and tarragon oil. All the classic roast options – an aged Hampshire white pork loin, longhorn sirloin of beef, free-range half roast chicken and nut and lentil roast – feature on the main menu. Naturally, each is served with roast potatoes, carrots, red cabbage, seasonal greens, smoked cauliflower cheese, a Yorkshire pudding and gravy. You can level up your roast with buttered greens, and chicken fat or buttered mash. The Hanger takes pride in their event hosting, so you'll also have the chance to talk about bespoke menus.
