How our Christmas hog roast works in Bekesbourne
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so get in touch as soon as you know your date. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas family parties and festive open evenings, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and rotisserie chicken.
For a Christmas party near Bekesbourne, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count who does not eat pork
- Add dietary questions to the invite
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.

Bekesbourne questions
Do you come out to small places like Bekesbourne?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Bekesbourne?
Bekesbourne station, about 0.8 miles north-west of the centre.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Serving inside is typically fine with the venue’s agreement.
Do you provide china?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What’s included?
Pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling in a soft roll. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so tell us as soon as plans change. In December, it is dark in Bekesbourne by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
