Christmas hog roast in New Hythe, carved to order
From office parties to village Christmas fairs, we cater festive events around New Hythe, from small teams to big crowds. Typical bookings include end-of-year team celebrations and winter open days, serving apple sauce, roast turkey and rotisserie chicken.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- The journey to the venue
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Whether you want china
- Season and day of the week
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is typically easier.
