Christmas hog roast in Rowsham, carved to order
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We will need light around the serving area. Typical bookings include christmas family parties and christmas fairs, serving apple sauce, roast turkey and rotisserie chicken.
In winter near Rowsham, we need firm ground and light, as fields are frequently soft. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
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.
Questions from Rowsham
Is Rowsham too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Rowsham close to London?
About 38 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you roast in the rain?
We roast under cover, so the food isn’t affected. Plan somewhere sheltered for eating.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
We do. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Is lighting needed?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
Do you cover Rowsham?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We will bring the rest.
Can you cater outdoors in December?
Hot food suits winter perfectly.
Allergies and dietary needs
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Send the allergen list round before the party
- Request gluten-free rolls
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
