How our Christmas hog roast works in Street End
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. A hall, office or marquee works well. Typical bookings include society Christmas socials and year-end thank-yous, with crackling, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
In winter near Street End, we need firm ground and light, as fields are often soft. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast is more relaxed. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Carved to order by a chef
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Site access
- Crockery choices
- Time on site
- The number of people
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Details that help
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The venue or postcode
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Your date and serving time
- Rough numbers
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Send us your details through our quote form.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Ask about dietary needs when people RSVP
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
We clear away, even on a cold, wet night.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.

Planning a Christmas party in Street End
Street End is about 2 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. We cover Christmas parties in Street End. Street End is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we cater.
PTA Christmas fairs, for a school such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys, suit a hog roast. For anyone getting the train home after the party, the closest railway station is Canterbury East station, roughly 2.1 miles north of the centre. Street End is within about 7 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
Anywhere in CT4, we can roast on site for your guests. Streets in the area include White Hill Close, Bridge Road and Faussett Hill, and a Christmas party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Close by, we cover Christmas parties in Nackington (1 mile north-east), Lower Hardres (1 mile south), Stuppington (1 mile north-west), Pett Bottom (1 mile south-east) and Upper Hardres (2 miles south). Within a short drive, we also cover Ashford (12 miles south-west), Dover (12 miles south-east), Folkestone (12 miles south), Whitstable (8 miles north), Deal (14 miles east) and Faversham (10 miles north-west).
A little further out are Rupert Bear Museum (2.3 miles north) and Kent and Canterbury Hospital (1.5 miles north). Within reach you will find Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We will fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Before you choose a spot
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work if a few things are right. Here’s what helps:
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- Firm ground rather than soft lawn
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
Popular choices
- Stuffing and apple sauce
- Hog roast rolls
- Halloumi skewers (V)
- Salads
- Roast potatoes
- Vegan option (Ve)
- Rotisserie chicken
- Crackling
- Roast turkey
How it works
Carving is part of the show: our chef carves the pork in front of the queue, with crackling for everyone who wants it. By about 3:50pm in late December, Street End is dark. Evening Christmas parties need a well-lit carving station, and a lit path from the door.
- Send us your Christmas party date, venue and numbers.
- We check the venue and send a price.
- On the day we arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve hot when you are ready.
- We tidy up and go, whatever the weather.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Think about shelter for your guests
