How our Christmas hog roast works in Bogle
Christmas get-togethers can mean a lot of people, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. Whether it’s between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and festive open evenings, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling for your guests.
In winter near Bogle, we need firm ground and light. You’ll know what’s included before you book: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates.

Catered or do it yourself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Bogle questions
Do you come out to small places like Bogle?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
How much room do you need?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
