About our Christmas hog roast in Sittingbourne
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. We’ll need light around the serving area. We serve crackling, apple sauce and roast potatoes, and we’re regularly asked to cater winter fairs and markets and festive open evenings.
In a town like Sittingbourne, a Christmas party might be at the office, a club or home. The roaster needs a level, lit spot outside. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot food wins in winter. For larger numbers, a hog roast is usually good value, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and we carve and serve at the agreed time. Sunset in Sittingbourne in late December is about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
