Christmas hog roast in Kent: what to expect

Fridays in December go first, so get in touch as soon as you know your date. Typical bookings include end-of-term celebrations and christmas lights switch-ons, serving crackling, roast turkey and rotisserie chicken.

The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We agree exactly where before the day.

Local landmarks in Maidstone

We set up the roaster for events around Paper Makers Arms, Maidstone Grammar School and St Philip's Church and the streets around them. Nearby too are River Len LNR (under half a mile north-east), South Borough Primary School (under half a mile south) and St Augustine Academy (1.2 miles west). Maidstone’s nearest station is Maidstone West station, about 0.6 miles north-west. Well-known places in the area include Maidstone Carriage Museum (under half a mile north-west) and Oakwood Hospital (1.8 miles west). The countryside around Maidstone includes Burham Down and Boxley Hills.

December events across Kent

Across Kent, festive bookings range from works car parks to village halls. Let us know about the spot and the route. Parts of Kent are within a few miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape and the High Weald National Landscape, so check venue rules on outside caterers for countryside events. 219 of the places we cover in Kent are within about 6 miles of the sea, where we always think about wind when choosing a cooking spot.

Maidstone: If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like South Borough Primary School, hot rolls go down well. A Christmas fair at St Philip's Church is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. Sunset in Maidstone in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

A hog roast or other catering?

Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve.

Looking after everyone

Some guests will not eat pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:

Send the allergen list round before the party
Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
Label alternatives clearly
Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately

We pack up whatever the weather.

Roast turkey can be added.

About the food

Rotisserie chicken

Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.

Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)

A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.

What a hog roast costs

Your quote depends on:

Whether you want china
How many people are eating
The serving time and how long we’re on site
The date and time of year

The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.

What we need to know

Good details mean a good quote. Please include:

The date and when you’d like to eat
Which meats and sides you’d like
An estimate of numbers
Allergies we should know about

To get a quote, just tell us the date, where the Christmas party is and roughly how many. A picture of the cooking area helps. Use our quote form.

Common questions in Kent

Who serves?

Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.

What should we sort out beforehand?

Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.

When should we book our Christmas party?

As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.

Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?

We can: add turkey to the menu.

Do guests have to eat outside?

Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.

What happens if it is dark?

It gets dark early, so we will sort lighting together.

Can you roast in the rain?

We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
