About our Christmas hog roast in Seal
Fridays in December go first, so ask early. For christmas fairs and family Christmas gatherings, we’ll put together a menu of roast potatoes, rotisserie chicken and roast turkey and more.
For a Christmas party near Seal, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

A closer look at the menu

Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
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.
Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Seal
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Seal too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we book our Christmas party?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen information.
Do you do DIY hog roast hire?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We’ll confirm what comes with it and how to use it.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
How much does a hog roast cost?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Send us the details and we will quote.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote depends on:
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Distance from us
- The date and time of year
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Please include:
- Allergies we should know about
- The date and time of the event
- Roughly how many people
- Rules from the venue or landowner
Send us the date, the address or TN15 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We will confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
