A hog roast near Trottiscliffe
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Christmas hog roast for your Christmas party in Trottiscliffe
Roast turkey can join the pork for a traditional touch, with roast potatoes and salads. Chicken, halloumi skewers and a vegan option cover everyone else. Typical bookings include between-Christmas-and-New-Year get-togethers and winter fairs and markets, with rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and halloumi skewers.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Trottiscliffe
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Trottiscliffe?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do guests have to eat outside?
Serving inside is typically fine with the venue’s agreement.
Is crockery included?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
Do you serve the food?

When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How early should we book for Christmas?
December weekends go first. Ask as soon as you know your date.
Step by step
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it. In December, it is dark in Trottiscliffe by about 3:50pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.
