Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Church Hougham
What’s the nearest station to Church Hougham?
Dover Priory station, about 2.3 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you cook in Samphire Hoe Country Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Will there be enough to go round?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
What should we sort out beforehand?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We bring everything else.
Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Label alternatives clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
We serve hot rolls on cue, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A lit route to the food
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
