Christmas hog roast in Shadoxhurst, carved to order
Winter weather is part of the plan: the roast is under cover; guests need somewhere dry. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. Popular choices include roast potatoes, crackling and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and office Christmas parties.
For a Christmas party near Shadoxhurst, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are frequently soft. Timings are planned around your Christmas party, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
Planning a Christmas party in Shadoxhurst
Shadoxhurst is about 3 miles south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Our roaster is a regular sight at Christmas parties around Shadoxhurst, from gardens to fields. Shadoxhurst is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Shadoxhurst to Canterbury (16 miles away).
If a church like Church of St Peter and St Paul is running a Christmas fair, hot pork rolls are a welcome sight on a cold evening. A winter fair at a school like John Wallis Academy gets dark early, so hot food is popular. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 8 miles of Shadoxhurst; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning.
Anywhere in TN26, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. Your Christmas party could be at a house on The Street, Park Farm Close and Woodchurch Road, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster.
