Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
You can combine: turkey and pork together. 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.

- An itemised quote
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Christmas hog roast in Chiddingstone Causeway, carved to order
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Popular choices include roast turkey, crackling and apple sauce, and we are regularly asked to cater family Christmas gatherings and between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers.
For a Christmas party near Chiddingstone Causeway, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Chiddingstone Causeway
Do you come out to small places like Chiddingstone Causeway?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Could you cook in Chiddingstone Castle Park and Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, as well as the hog.
Do December dates go quickly?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays frequently have more availability.
What if things run late?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, so you’re not left with the mess.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you are unsure.
What do you need from us on the day?
Only the space and a contact number. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
