A hog roast near Flete
Christmas hog roast in Flete, carved to order
On a cold December night, hot pork and crackling are hard to beat. The roaster cooks outside under cover and carve to order for your Christmas party in Flete. For new Year parties and work Christmas parties, we can cook crackling, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes and more.
Near Flete, country lanes are dark in winter, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Flete questions
Is Flete close to London?
About 64 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Flete too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you cater in Flete?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Flete and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we have roast turkey?
Roast turkey can be added for Christmas, alongside the pork.
What happens on the day
We arrive hours before you want to eat, because a whole hog takes hours to roast. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. Late-December sunset in Flete comes at about 3:50pm. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a winter barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
