Christmas hog roast in Frogham, slow-roasted on site
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. On the menu are apple sauce, roast potatoes and hog roast rolls, and we’re often booked for festive family get-togethers and boxing Day and New Year gatherings.
In a small place like Frogham, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Frogham
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 will follow the site rules.
Is Frogham too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
What do you need from us on the day?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
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.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we’ll check.
What’s the price?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, a hog roast is a popular stall at Christmas fairs. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
Full catering or machine hire?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a restaurant booking, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What you get with us
- Carved to order by a chef
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Parking near the cooking area
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Frogham in December: what to know
Frogham is about 6 miles north-west of Dover, in Kent. We cater Christmas parties across Frogham and nearby, from gardens to fields. Frogham is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 8 miles away.
For colleagues travelling by train, Snowdown station is about 0.8 miles away. If you are organising a Christmas fair for a school like Nonington Church of England Primary School, hot rolls go down well. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 7 miles of Frogham; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

For Christmas parties just outside Frogham, we cover Barfrestone (1 mile south-east), Snowdown (1 mile north-west), Nonington (1 mile north), Woolage Village (1 mile west) and Elvington (1 mile east). We also serve nearby towns such as Canterbury (8 miles north-west), Margate (14 miles north-east), Dover (6 miles south-east), Folkestone (9 miles south), Ramsgate (12 miles north-east) and Broadstairs (14 miles north-east).
Well-known places in the area include Buckland Hospital (6 miles south-east).
Step by step
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A lunchtime Christmas party in Frogham is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- The roast starts in the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
Preparing for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
