About our Christmas hog roast in Fant
Swap the set menu for a hog roast at your Christmas party in Fant: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. Typical bookings include year-end thank-yous and club and society Christmas parties, with crackling, roast turkey and apple sauce.
In Fant, festive gatherings tend to be at home or the hall. The roaster needs a lit spot and firm ground. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

If people are coming by rail, East Farleigh station is about 0.8 miles away. A Christmas fair at Parish Church of St Andrew is just the kind of event a hog roast suits. Fant is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.

Being close to the A26, Fant is easy for us to reach with the roaster.

Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who does not eat it. Some ways to look after everyone:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
We pack up whatever the weather.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
