Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it’s worth adding an alternative. Helpful tips:
- Stuffing usually contains gluten, so check the allergen list
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Collect dietary needs with Christmas party sign-ups
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
At the agreed time, we carve hot and serve, carved fresh.
Add roast turkey for a traditional Christmas touch.

Questions from Worth Abbey
Is Worth Abbey close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cater at venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
Do guests have to eat outside?
We cook outside, but can generally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Do December dates go quickly?
The earlier the better. Weekdays frequently have more availability.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a traditional sit-down Christmas lunch, a hog roast with turkey is relaxed and easier to serve. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
