Planning help
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, you avoid set-menu prices and keep everyone in one place. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Twydall hosts choose us
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Timed around your day
- All the equipment comes with us

Questions from Twydall
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Could you cook in Riverside Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do Christmas fairs?
Yes. Hot food is always popular at winter fairs.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: we carve, serve and tidy up.
Do you come to Twydall?
Yes, Twydall is in our area. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll confirm availability.
Is lighting needed?
It is dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Planning the cooking spot
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A safe distance from anything that could catch the heat
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Lighting on the path from the party to the serving area
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
