Slow-roasted pork in Tilmanstone
Christmas hog roast in Tilmanstone, carved to order
December is dark early, so we start in daylight and roast into the evening. The cooking area and path need lighting. On the menu are rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and apple sauce, and typical bookings are for society Christmas socials and christmas lights switch-ons.
In a small place like Tilmanstone, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Planners, venues and businesses
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.

The menu, dish by dish
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
Soft rolls hold the pork, stuffing and apple sauce together, perfect for eating on the move. Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is a simple, popular alternative to pork, turned until the skin is golden.
Should I cook it myself?
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Before you choose a spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Look for:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
- A short route for our equipment
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
