Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Sevenoaks
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. A hall, office or marquee works well. We’re often asked to cater lights switch-on evenings and christmas fairs, with rotisserie chicken, roast turkey and apple sauce.
In a town like Sevenoaks, a Christmas party might be at the office, a club or home. The roaster needs a level, lit spot outside. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.

What else we do in Sevenoaks
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
How it works
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. With sunset at about 3:55pm in December, most Christmas parties in Sevenoaks are after dark. The cooking area is lit; the route to it may need lights too.
- Tell us when and where the party is.
- We confirm the space and send a price.
- We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
- Our chef carves and staff serve.
- We pack up, even in the rain.
How to prepare
