How our Christmas hog roast works in Teston
Christmas get-togethers can mean plenty of people, and a hog roast feeds everyone without anyone stuck in the kitchen. Typical bookings include christmas lights switch-ons and society Christmas socials, with roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and apple sauce.
For a Christmas party near Teston, firm, lit ground near the house or hall is key, as fields are often soft. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Should I cook it myself?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Label alternatives clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
A cooked roast holds for a while, so keep us posted.
Add roast potatoes for a festive plate.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
