Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Curteis' Corner
Which station is closest to Curteis' Corner?
The closest is Headcorn station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
What should we sort out beforehand?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Sides and extra meats are listed in your quote.
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 do not offer halal meat.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Serving and clearing done for you
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: crisp, golden and full of flavour.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Where the roaster can go in Curteis' Corner
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Vehicle access close by
- Hardstanding if possible in winter
- A lit route to the food
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What affects the price in Curteis' Corner
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Site access
- Time on site
When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
