Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Tonbridge
A Christmas hog roast brings hot food to a cold evening. The roaster cooks outside under cover and we carve hot for your festive party in Tonbridge. We are frequently asked to cater christmas lights switch-ons and family Christmas gatherings, serving apple sauce, crackling and roast potatoes.
Christmas parties in Tonbridge are frequently at workplaces and clubs. We need a lit outdoor spot. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so the pork is hot and the crackling is crisp.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Sage and onion stuffing and apple sauce are the classic partners, cutting through the richness of the pork.

Why choose a hog roast in Tonbridge?
Next to a plated turkey lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Sunset in Tonbridge in late December is about 3:55pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. We start in daylight and cook into the dark.

How to prepare

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
