Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet

Planning a Christmas party in Bluetown
Bluetown is about 4 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We cater Christmas parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Bluetown and the surrounding area. Bluetown is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater. Our bookings stretch from Bluetown to Canterbury (14 miles away).
If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School, hot rolls go down well. If a church like Church of St Catherine is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. Bluetown is within about 5 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Label alternatives clearly
We pack up whatever the weather.

Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
