About our Christmas hog roast in Perrywood
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes on the side. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. Typical bookings include between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and festive open evenings, with roast turkey, apple sauce and crackling.
Near Perrywood, country lanes are dark in winter, 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.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re a venue or event planner, we are happy to work alongside your team.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

Perrywood: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Perrywood?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
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’ll follow the site rules.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we do not need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can often be booked at shorter notice. Ask and we will check.
How long does the roast need?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
What do people get?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
A plant-based burger or sausage covers vegans, served in a roll with salads.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- Vehicle access close by
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Crackling
- Salads
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Roast turkey
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Roast potatoes
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
