How our Christmas hog roast works in Greenhithe
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. We serve apple sauce, crackling and roast potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater society Christmas socials and winter fairs and markets.
For a Christmas get-together near Greenhithe, a hog roast in the garden goes down well. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.
Space, access and the venue
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. The main driver is numbers: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Planning help
Catered or do it yourself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
