Christmas hog roast in Wierton
Christmas hog roast in Wierton, slow-roasted on site
December is dark early, so we set up in daylight and roast through the afternoon. The cooking area and path need lighting. Whether it is winter open days and office Christmas parties, we can cook halloumi skewers, crackling and hog roast rolls for your guests.
Near Wierton, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Wierton: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Wierton?
Staplehurst station, about 3.3 miles south of the centre.
Is Wierton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is lighting needed?
It’s dark before 4pm in December, so we plan lighting with you.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do we need our own staff?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
What do people get?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you cater in Wierton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Wierton and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we’ll quote.
How it works
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. By about 3:50pm in late December, Wierton is dark. A Christmas party in the evening means carving under lights, and a lit path from the door.

Planning help
Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
The cooking area and the path to it need lighting after dark, so tell us what’s already there.
Lights around the carving station add atmosphere.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We do not use a fixed price list, because every Christmas party is different. What matters most:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Crockery choices
UK price guides vary widely: roughly £10 a head for a simple roll, rising past £20 with more included. We quote every event individually, so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Rough numbers
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- A picture of the cooking area
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your Christmas party: send us your details through our quote form.
Catered or do it yourself?
Full catering or machine hire? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

For planners, venues and organisers
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
