About the food
Roast pork

Christmas parties in Woodland: local tips
Woodland is about 4 miles north of Hythe, in Kent. We cater Christmas parties of every size in Woodland. We cover all 922 towns and villages in Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Woodland to Canterbury (about 10 miles away).
For anyone getting the train home after the party, Westenhanger station is about 2.9 miles away. The Kent Downs National Landscape is within about 3 miles of Woodland; in winter, rural routes need a bit more planning. The coast is within about 5 miles of Woodland, and winter sea winds can be bitter.
Wherever your Christmas party is in CT18, we can roast on site for your guests, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We also bring hog roasts to Christmas parties in Skeete (1 mile south-west), Hemsted (1 mile north-west), Lyminge (1 mile east), Rhodes Minnis (1 mile north-east) and Ottinge (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Ashford (9 miles west), Canterbury (10 miles north), Dover (10 miles east), Folkestone (5 miles south-east), Whitstable (15 miles north) and Deal (15 miles east).
Other landmarks nearby include Royal Victoria Hospital (5.6 miles south-east) and Saltwood Castle (3.6 miles south). The countryside around Woodland includes Tolsford Hill.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Label alternatives clearly
Give us a contact for the evening, especially for an office party.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal.

How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
Here’s what affects the price:
- Menu choices and extras
- Whether you want china
- The serving time and how long we are on site
- The number of people
Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head normally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What to tell us
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Your date and serving time
- What the outdoor space is like
- Roughly how many people
- The venue or postcode
We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Tell us about your Christmas party for a quote: use our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

Compared with a restaurant Christmas party, a hog roast at your venue keeps everyone together and is frequently better value. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
