How our Christmas hog roast works in New Ash Green
Festive events of all kinds around New Ash Green suit a hog roast, from small teams to big crowds. On the menu are apple sauce, roast turkey and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for winter fairs and markets and late-night shopping events.
Near New Ash Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.
Should I cook it myself?
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
What comes off the roaster
Roast turkey
At Christmas, add roast turkey alongside the hog, carved to order for a festive feel.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
