Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Hucking
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Hucking. Popular choices include roast turkey, halloumi skewers and crackling, and typical bookings are for end-of-year team celebrations and festive family get-togethers.
For a Christmas party near Hucking, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, slowly, over several hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

FAQs for Hucking
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’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Which station is closest to Hucking?
Hollingbourne station, about 2.1 miles south of the centre.
Is lighting needed?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
Is there a non-pork option?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We do not offer halal meat.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Do you bring plates?

Who serves?

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
