How our Christmas hog roast works in Romney Street
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. We’re frequently asked to cater christmas markets and society Christmas socials, serving roast turkey, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes.
For a Christmas party near Romney Street, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, slowly, over several hours.
Romney Street questions
Can you do a hog roast in Kemsing Down?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Romney Street?
The closest is Shoreham (Kent) station, roughly 1.6 miles away.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Yes, the roast always cooks outdoors under cover. Guests will want somewhere warm and dry to eat.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
What should we sort out beforehand?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
Planning for dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
Name someone to meet us.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Catered or do it yourself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, roasted until golden.
Stuffing and apple sauce
No hog roast roll is complete without sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce, cutting through the richness of the pork.

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, and the quote reflects that.
Why Romney Street hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- No surprises: everything in writing
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
