Christmas hog roast in Egerton, carved to order
For a work Christmas party in Egerton, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. We are often asked to cater family Christmas gatherings and december open days, serving apple sauce, roast turkey and hog roast rolls.
In winter near Egerton, we need firm ground and light. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Allergies and dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. Other tips:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Where the roaster can go in Egerton
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Things to check:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Egerton in December: what to know
Egerton is about 7 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. We set up the roaster at gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Egerton and the surrounding area. We bring hog roasts to 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 16 miles away.
If people are coming by rail, the nearest station is Pluckley station, about 2.7 miles south. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Egerton Church of England Primary School, suit a hog roast. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Egerton, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
For Christmas parties in TN27, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and roughly how many guests. That could mean a Christmas party in a garden on The Street, Stevens Close and New Road or the roads around them, wherever there is an outdoor spot for the roaster. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Mundy Bois (1 mile south), Newland Green (1 mile south-west), Egerton Forstal (1 mile south-west), Pembles Cross (1 mile west) and Potter's Forstal (1 mile west). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (10 miles north-west), Ashford (7 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (10 miles north), Faversham (11 miles north-east), Kings Hill (15 miles west) and Davington (11 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Coldbridge Castle (1.5 miles west).
The process
Service is quick once we start carving: the chef carves and the team serves, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. A lunchtime Christmas party in Egerton is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Book early for December.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
How to prepare
