About our Christmas hog roast in Lyminge
Fridays in December go first, so contact us as soon as you know your date. We serve rotisserie chicken, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re regularly asked to cater december open days and winter fairs and markets.
In a small place like Lyminge, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Lyminge questions
Is Lyminge too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you cater in Lyminge?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Lyminge and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
How much will it be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we are on site. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is frequently possible, with the venue’s agreement.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Some guests won’t eat pork, so plan an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count who does not eat pork
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so tell us about delays.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Lyminge in December: what to know
Lyminge is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. We bring a hog roast for your Christmas party to Christmas parties anywhere in Lyminge, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. Lyminge is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 10 miles away.
For colleagues travelling by train, Sandling station, about 2.8 miles south, is the nearest station. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Lyminge; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At a winter fair, a hog roast stall is one of the most popular hot-food options. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why Lyminge hosts choose us
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Timed around your day
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- A clear quote with everything listed
