Christmas hog roast in Wrotham Heath
About our Christmas hog roast in Wrotham Heath
Winter weather is part of the plan: we cook under cover, and guests eat somewhere warm. Indoors or a heated marquee is ideal. On the menu are roast turkey, rotisserie chicken and roast potatoes, and typical bookings are for christmas family parties and new Year parties.
In a small place like Wrotham Heath, December lanes are dark, so let us know about access and lighting. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a cold Christmas buffet, hot carved meat is far more welcome in December. Numbers make the biggest difference: the price per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Choices for people who do not eat pork
- Our staff serve and clear
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated

Step by step
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. A lunchtime Christmas party in Wrotham Heath is the only one in good daylight, as it is dark by about 3:50pm, so for anything later, plan lights and somewhere warm to eat.

Your questions about a hog roast for your Christmas party in Wrotham Heath
Can you do a hog roast in Trosley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you come out to small places like Wrotham Heath?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. The food can be carried in and served indoors where the venue allows.
What happens if it’s dark?
Yes: the cooking area, serving table and path need lighting after dark. Tell us what’s already there and we’ll plan the rest with you.
Is it too cold for a hog roast?
Winter is a great time for a hog roast.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do Christmas fairs and lights switch-ons. Tell us the pitch and how food will be paid for.
Can you do turkey for a Christmas party?
Yes: add turkey to the menu.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Full catering or machine hire?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
How we price a hog roast for your Christmas party
We work out each quote from:
- Site access
- How long the roast and service take
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we will need:
- Rough numbers
- Where the event is
- Any venue rules
- Allergies we should know about
Send us the date, the address or ME19 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time. We will check the date and send a quote. Send us your details through our quote form.
