Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Broad Tenterden
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Broad Tenterden. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we are frequently booked for winter open days and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers.

Broad Tenterden: your questions answered
Can you do a hog roast in Turners Field?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the High Weald 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 happens if it’s dark?
It gets dark early, so we’ll sort lighting together.
How much will it be?
Every booking is quoted individually, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you come to Broad Tenterden?
Yes, Broad Tenterden is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.
Is turkey available?
We can: turkey and pork together suit most Christmas parties.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
For event organisers in Broad Tenterden
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
What comes off the roaster
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
How the day works
The roaster cooks outdoors, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. With sunset at about 3:50pm in December, most Christmas parties in Broad Tenterden are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.

- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.

- The team serves hot rolls at the agreed time.
