If you’re organising a Christmas fair for a school like John Wallis Academy, hot rolls go down well. Fleeden is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Christmas hog roast in Fleeden, carved to order
For a work Christmas party in Fleeden, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. Whether it’s new Year parties and lights switch-on evenings, we can cook halloumi skewers, apple sauce and roast turkey and more.
In winter near Fleeden, we need firm ground and light. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.
Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Add dietary questions to the invite
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Send the allergen list round before the party
We set up while it is still light, then roast through the afternoon.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.

FAQs for Fleeden
Is Fleeden close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
When should we book our Christmas party?
Very quickly, so ask early. Midweek dates are easier.
Do you provide china?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, turned until the skin is golden.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, in a roll, with salad on the side.
What the cooking area needs
Before the day, it helps to think about where the roaster will go. The ideal spot has:
- Light by the serving table
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Parking near the cooking area
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

For event organisers in Fleeden
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
