How our Christmas hog roast works in Throwley
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. We’ll need light around the serving area. For festive family get-togethers and sports club Christmas do’s, we will put together a menu of crackling, roast turkey and apple sauce for your guests.
In winter near Throwley, we need firm ground and light. Tell us about dietary needs and allergies when you enquire, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.

Roast turkey
Turkey and pork together cover traditionalists and crackling fans alike.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, easy to eat standing up. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Common questions in Throwley
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?

Do you come out to small places like Throwley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Yes. Hot rolls on a cold evening sell well.
Do you need power or water?
No, the roast is cooked on gas. Let us know what’s on site.

How early should we book for Christmas?
As early as possible, especially for Fridays and Saturdays. Send your date early.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
Can you cater outdoors in December?

Catered or do it yourself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
