Christmas hog roast in Pembury
How the day works
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. A lunchtime Christmas party in Pembury is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We arrive while it’s light and set up under cover.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a barbecue, slow roasting suits winter far better. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.
Why us?
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Tell us how many vegans to expect, and we will bring enough vegan burgers or sausages.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
