Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Hamstreet
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas family parties and new Year parties, with apple sauce, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes.
In a small place like Hamstreet, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling.

Step by step
Rain does not stop the roast, because we cook under cover. Your guests will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. A lunchtime Christmas party in Hamstreet is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
