Christmas hog roast for Kingsnorth
Working with your venue
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team, sharing timings and a site plan.
Christmas hog roast in Kingsnorth, carved to order
For a work Christmas party in Kingsnorth, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. On the menu are hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for winter fairs and markets and staff Christmas do’s.
In a small place like Kingsnorth, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Kingsnorth
Is Kingsnorth too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Kingsnorth from London?
About 30 miles from central London.
Is mains power needed?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
What happens if it’s dark?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Let us know what lighting the venue has.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and a cooked roast can be held for a while if things run late.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
How much room do you need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll check it with you before booking.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can frequently serve indoors if the venue agrees.

Why choose Christmas hog roast in Kingsnorth?
Hot food on a cold night is always welcome.
A hog roast suits a wide range of occasions. Here are some of the most popular:
- Year-end thank-yous

- Family Christmas gatherings

A winter fair at a school like The Hundred of Hoo Academy gets dark early, so hot food is popular.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
You can combine: pork for the crackling fans, turkey for traditionalists. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
