Slow-roasted pork in Northiam
How our Christmas hog roast works in Northiam
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Northiam, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it’s cold outside. Whether it’s festive family get-togethers and festive open evenings, we’ll put together a menu of roast turkey, halloumi skewers and roast potatoes for your guests.
In a small place like Northiam, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Allergies and dietary needs
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
Name someone to meet us, especially for an office party.

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.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
