Christmas hog roast for Foley Park
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower will not spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. Christmas parties in Foley Park are almost always after dark: sunset is about 3:50pm in December. The cooking area is lit; tell us about lighting on the way to it.
- Ask early for a December date.
- We check your venue and send a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Think about shelter for your guests
- Give us final numbers a week or so before

Lighting at the serving table matters after dark.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.

- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- Time on site
- The number of people
- Site access
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Any venue rules

Organising for someone else?
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

Common questions in Foley Park
Is Foley Park close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you cook in Vinters Valley Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What if it rains?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Can you cater in Foley Park?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Foley Park and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.

A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we’ll plan around it.
