Common questions in Rodmersham
Which station is closest to Rodmersham?
Sittingbourne station, about 1.8 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Rodmersham close to London?
Roughly 39 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Can we have roast turkey?
Yes, roast turkey is available for Christmas events, alongside the pork.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we will add it to the quote.

Popular dates go early. But do ask even at short notice: use our quote form.
Christmas hog roast in Rodmersham, carved to order
Family gatherings at Christmas can be big, and a hog roast means nobody spends the day cooking. For december open days and late-night shopping events, we can cook crackling, roast turkey and roast potatoes.
For a Christmas party near Rodmersham, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Looking after everyone
Some guests won’t eat pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Share the allergen information in advance
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
We arrive in daylight to set up and start roasting, then roast through the afternoon.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
What comes off the roaster
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken can be served in a roll or on a plate alongside the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
For vegetarians, halloumi and vegetable skewers are cooked separately from the meat, so they get something hot and satisfying too.
What happens on the day
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In December, it’s dark in Rodmersham by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
