Christmas hog roast in Ebbsfleet
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Ebbsfleet
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Ebbsfleet, a hog roast draws a queue: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. Whether it’s office Christmas parties and year-end thank-yous, we’ll put together a menu of roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and halloumi skewers.
In winter near Ebbsfleet, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, balancing the rich, salty pork.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Crunchy coleslaw suits roast pork, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Should I cook it myself?
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.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

When should we book our Christmas party?
December weekends go first. Send your date early.

Do hog roasts work in winter?
Hot food suits winter perfectly, as long as guests have shelter.
What about Christmas markets?
