About our Christmas hog roast in Newnham
Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons in Newnham suit a hog roast stall: hot food in the hand on a cold evening. We serve roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and we’re regularly asked to cater winter fairs and markets and winter open days.
In a small place like Newnham, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the serving time, the menu and the plates, with no surprises on the day.

Newnham questions
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 will follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Newnham?
Teynham station, about 3.4 miles north of the centre.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
We can: add turkey to the menu.
Do we need our own staff?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What if it rains?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower does not stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
Roughly the footprint of a gazebo or two, on level ground, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We’ll confirm the space with your quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.

Full catering or machine hire?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Planning a Christmas party in Newnham
Newnham is about 4 miles south-west of Faversham, in Kent. Wherever your Christmas party is in Newnham, we can bring the roaster, as long as there’s an outdoor spot to cook. We cater all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Newnham to Canterbury (about 12 miles away).
Train travellers will want to know that the closest railway station is Teynham station, roughly 3.4 miles north of the centre. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Eastling Primary School, suit a hog roast. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Newnham; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
We cover Christmas parties in every part of ME9 and the streets around it. Local streets include The Street, Sharsted Hill and Newnham Lane; a Christmas party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Neighbouring places where we cater Christmas parties include Doddington (1 mile west), Wichling (2 miles west), Bluetown (2 miles west), Hollybushes (3 miles west) and Payden Street (3 miles south-west). Larger places within reach include Maidstone (12 miles west), Ashford (10 miles south), Canterbury (12 miles east), Sittingbourne (5 miles north-west), Whitstable (11 miles north-east) and Faversham (4 miles north-east).

A closer look at the menu
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
How it works
The roaster cooks outdoors, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We will agree the spot with you beforehand. A lunchtime Christmas party in Newnham is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- We check the date and the outdoor cooking spot, then send a quote.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
How to prepare
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Name a contact for the day
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to get a price is to send us your date, venue and numbers. A picture of the cooking area helps. Fill in our quote form.
