What happens on the day

- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and 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.
Preparing for the day
- Plan somewhere sheltered for people to eat if it rains
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

How our Christmas hog roast works in Pegwell
At a Christmas fair or lights switch-on in Pegwell, a hog roast draws a queue: warm rolls when it is cold outside. Typical bookings include christmas markets and lights switch-on evenings, with hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and crackling.
For a Christmas party near Pegwell, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Pegwell
Do you come out to small places like Pegwell?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
How far is Pegwell from London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We’ll explain the details with your quote.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is usually fine with the venue’s agreement.
Do you need power or water?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Tell us what’s available and we will plan around it.
What about coeliacs?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
For event organisers in Pegwell
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For venues and planners, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
