Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Greatstone-on-Sea

Near Greatstone-on-Sea, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu, staff and anything else agreed, with no surprises on the day.
For event organisers in Greatstone-on-Sea
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Vehicle access close by
- Space away from buildings, marquees and trees
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Greatstone-on-Sea questions
Do you come out to small places like Greatstone-on-Sea?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you do a hog roast in Romney Warren Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
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.
When should we book?
Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: fill in our quote form.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Is lighting needed?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we’ll sort lighting together.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
Serving inside is typically fine with the venue’s agreement.
What happens after service?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
