About our Christmas hog roast in Sevington
Swap the set menu for a hog roast at your Christmas party in Sevington: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. Whether it’s office Christmas parties and club and society Christmas parties, we can cook hog roast rolls, roast potatoes and apple sauce.
For a Christmas party near Sevington, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. Plates come as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.
Space, access and the venue
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:
- A level outdoor area that can be lit
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce

- Roast potatoes
- Salads
- Halloumi skewers (V)

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.

Sevington in December: what to know
Sevington is about 2 miles south-east of Ashford, in Kent. Sevington is well within our area for Christmas parties. We cater 922 places across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Sevington to Canterbury (about 13 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Mary can book a hog roast stall. For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Ashford International station, roughly 1.8 miles north-west of the centre. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 5 miles of Sevington, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Wherever your Christmas party is in TN24 and TN25, we can roast on site for your guests. Local streets include Church Road, Bad Munstereifel Road and Highfield Lane; a Christmas party on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. We also bring hog roasts to Christmas parties in Hinxhill Park (1 mile north-east), Mersham (1 mile south-east), Hinxhill (1 mile north-east), South Stour (2 miles south) and Ridgeway (2 miles east).

Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
How big a hog will we need?

It depends on the size of the hog and the weather, but it’s several hours. We will confirm our arrival time when we quote.
What happens if it’s dark?
After dark, the serving area and the path to it need lighting. Tell us what’s already there and we will plan the rest with you.
About the food
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Rolls make a hog roast easy to eat anywhere. Gluten-free rolls can be provided on request.
How it works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A lunchtime Christmas party in Sevington is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.
- It starts with your date, venue and rough numbers.
- You get a check on the date and the spot, and a quote.
- We set up under cover in daylight and roast through the afternoon.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve hot food at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the spot tidy.
Before we arrive
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
- Gather dietary requirements early

Planning help
Working with your venue
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
