Christmas hog roast in Eythorne
Eythorne in December: what to know
Eythorne is about 4 miles north of Dover, in Kent. Planning a hog roast for your Christmas party in Eythorne? We can help. We bring hog roasts to all 922 towns and villages across Kent. We cater events right across the region, from Eythorne to Canterbury (10 miles away).
A winter fair at a school like Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School gets dark early, so hot food is popular. Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Peter and St Paul can book a hog roast stall. Eythorne is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. With the sea within about 6 miles, December breezes can be cold.
For Christmas parties in CT15, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Local streets include The Street, Sandwich Road and New Road; a Christmas party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. For Christmas parties just outside Eythorne, we cover Waldershare (1 mile south-west), Sibertswold (2 miles south-west), Coldred (2 miles south-west), Halfway Street (2 miles south-west) and Lydden (3 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (10 miles north-west), Margate (14 miles north), Dover (4 miles south), Folkestone (9 miles south-west), Ramsgate (11 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (13 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Dover Transport Museum (3.5 miles south) and Buckland Hospital (4.7 miles south).
- Local pubs include The White Horse pub (under half a mile north-west)
Christmas hog roast in Eythorne, carved to order
From office parties to village Christmas fairs, we cater festive events around Eythorne, from small teams to big crowds. We are often asked to cater end-of-year team celebrations and society Christmas socials, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and apple sauce.
For a Christmas party near Eythorne, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Planning for dietary needs
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Label alternatives clearly
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
We set up while it is still light, and cook into the evening.
Roast potatoes suit a winter menu.
What we serve, dish by dish
Roast turkey
For Christmas, roast turkey can join the pork, carved to order.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
- Carved by our chef in front of your guests
- Serving and clearing done for you
