Christmas hog roast in Southfleet
How our Christmas hog roast works in Southfleet
Swap the set menu for a hog roast at your Christmas party in Southfleet: pork, turkey if you want it, and plenty of crackling. Popular choices include roast potatoes, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re often booked for christmas family parties and winter open days.
In winter near Southfleet, we need firm ground and light. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat, so the food is ready at the right moment.
Catered or do it yourself?
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Compared with a cold buffet, hot food wins in winter. The main driver is numbers: the price per head usually falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
