The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your Christmas party in Dungate. Sunset in Dungate in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
A hog roast compared with other options
Compared with a barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Travel matters for the price: we include travel in the quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address so the quote is accurate.
What you get with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests

Christmas catering near Dungate
Dungate is about 3 miles south of Sittingbourne, in Kent. We cater Christmas parties at homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Dungate. We cater 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Dungate to Canterbury (about 14 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. If a church like Church of St Catherine is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Dungate; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
