How our Christmas hog roast works in Boughton Monchelsea
Swap the set menu for a hog roast at your Christmas party in Boughton Monchelsea: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. We are often asked to cater late-night shopping events and festive family get-togethers, with roast turkey, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes.
Near Boughton Monchelsea, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Your quote depends on:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Travel to Boughton Monchelsea
- Which meats and sides you choose
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- An estimate of numbers
- Your date and serving time

The process
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. A lunchtime Christmas party in Boughton Monchelsea is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
Getting ready for the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Boughton Monchelsea
What’s the nearest station to Boughton Monchelsea?
East Farleigh station, about 2.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Boughton Monchelsea?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, for confident cooks. Ask and we will talk you through it.
When do you start roasting?
It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. You will know our arrival time in advance.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We will bring the rest.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if things run late?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we’ll adjust.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
For event organisers in Boughton Monchelsea
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Marquee suppliers normally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
