About our Christmas hog roast in Sarre
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 end-of-year team celebrations and christmas markets, with crackling, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
In winter near Sarre, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat.

FAQs for Sarre
Is Sarre too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you do a hog roast in Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
There are lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We’ll be as flexible as we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will fit around changes.
Do you serve the food?
You do not need anyone else: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Step by step
People love watching the carving: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, and the crackling is shared out so everyone gets some. By about 3:50pm in late December, Sarre is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station.

Space, access and the venue
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- A short route for our equipment
- A lit route to the food
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:

- Label alternatives clearly
Lighting at the serving table matters after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Sarre in December: what to know
Sarre is about 5 miles south-east of Herne Bay, in Kent. We take a hog roast for your Christmas party to homes, halls, workplaces and venues in Sarre and the surrounding area. Sarre is one of 922 places in Kent where we cater. Our nearest city page is Canterbury, about 8 miles away.
If a church like Church of Saint Nicholas is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as St Nicholas At Wade Church of England Primary School, suit a hog roast. With the sea within about 6 miles, December breezes can be cold.
For Christmas parties in CT7, we just need to know where the roaster can cook. Streets in the area include Island Road, Old Road and Chantry Park, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater Christmas parties include St Nicholas at Wade (1 mile north-east), West Stourmouth (1 mile south), East Stourmouth (2 miles south), Monkton (2 miles east) and Upstreet (2 miles south-west).

The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
