How our Christmas hog roast works in Well Street
December dates book up early, especially Fridays, so ask early. We are often asked to cater family Christmas gatherings and new Year parties, serving rotisserie chicken, apple sauce and hog roast rolls.
In a small place like Well Street, December lanes are dark, so tell us about the route and lighting at the spot. The hog is roasted on site at your Christmas party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.

East Malling station, about 0.5 miles east of the centre.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We will confirm what comes with it and how to use it.

How much does a hog roast cost?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote.
Full catering or machine hire?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
What comes off the roaster
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes turn rolls into a full meal.

Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.

Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing typically contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, so food goes out straight from the roaster.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Well Street, December daylight ends around 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

For planners, venues and organisers
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
If you are booking for a workplace, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Planning the cooking spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere warm and dry for guests to eat
- Flat ground outside, with lights for after dark
- A lit route to the food
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
