Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Sellindge
For a work Christmas party in Sellindge, a hog roast is a change from the usual set menu: hot rolls, roast turkey if you like, and crackling for everyone. We’re often asked to cater christmas markets and end-of-year team celebrations, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and roast potatoes.
In a small place like Sellindge, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we will tell you exactly what’s in each dish.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Count who does not eat pork
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Label alternatives clearly
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.

Sellindge in December: what to know
Sellindge is about 4 miles north-west of Hythe, in Kent. We cater Christmas parties of every size in Sellindge. We bring hog roasts to all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Canterbury, about 13 miles away.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Sellindge Primary School, suit a hog roast. If a church like Church of St Mary is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 6 miles of Sellindge, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route. The coast is within about 5 miles of Sellindge, and winter sea winds can be bitter, so plan somewhere warm for guests to eat.
We cater Christmas parties across the TN25 postcode area and the streets around it. Streets in the area include Downs Way, Woodlees Close and Swan Green, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to Christmas parties in Moorstock (1 mile north), Stanford (2 miles east), Postling (3 miles east), Stowting (3 miles north-east) and Skeete (3 miles north-east). We also serve nearby towns such as Ashford (6 miles north-west), Canterbury (13 miles north), Dover (13 miles east), Folkestone (7 miles east), Faversham (15 miles north) and Hythe (4 miles south-east).
A little further out are William Harvey Hospital (4.7 miles north-west) and Lympne Castle (2.4 miles south). Open spaces near Sellindge include Tolsford Hill and Hatch Park.
How the day works
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power. By about 3:50pm in late December, Sellindge is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights.

Can you roast near the sea around Sellindge?
Yes, of course. We roast under cover and choose a sheltered spot where we can.
Is Sellindge too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How do you work out quantities?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will talk it through when we quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
What comes with the hog roast?

Is crockery included?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you come to Sellindge?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will check the date.
Can we just hire the roaster?

Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
