About our event catering in Northfleet
Unlike kitchen-based caterers, we cook outdoors at your venue. That means almost any outdoor space in Northfleet can work, as long as there’s a way in for our equipment. Popular choices include pulled pork, beef burgers and hog roast rolls with crackling, and we are frequently booked for gatherings after a service and care home days.
Plenty of events in Northfleet happen at home, in the garden or on the drive, where a hog roast or barbecue saves anyone cooking. Let us know how we reach the garden. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll tell you exactly what’s in each dish before booking.
What affects the price in Northfleet
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- The date and time of year
- Menu choices and extras
- The number of people
- Travel to Northfleet
Compare like for like: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.

Northfleet events: venues and access
Northfleet is about 5 miles east of Dartford, in Kent. We cover Northfleet and its neighbours for events. We bring hog roasts to 922 places in Kent. We cater events right across the region, from Northfleet to London (about 20 miles away).
If the day starts at a church like Church of All Saints, the food can be ready at a reception venue close by. Within reach of Northfleet are historic houses such as Cobham College (3.7 miles south-east). Estates like these tend to set strict rules for outside caterers, so ask before booking.
Wherever your event is in DA11, we can bring the roaster to you, from busy streets to quiet lanes. We can cater an event on streets such as Lawrance Square, London Road and Marks Square or the roads around them, as long as there’s somewhere outside to cook. You will find Northfleet on the A2 and A226, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. If your venue is just outside Northfleet, we also cover Gravesend (1 mile east), Dartford (5 miles west), Strood (6 miles south-east), Rochester (7 miles south-east) and Chatham (10 miles south-east).
Nearby you’ll also find Bluewater (3.3 miles west) and Stone Castle (3.1 miles west). Open spaces near Northfleet include Chafford Gorges Nature Park and Sawyers Lake.
- Local schools include Copperfield Academy (within half a mile north-east) and Saint George's Church of England School (0.7 miles south-east)
- Pubs nearby include The Six Bells pub (under half a mile south-east)
Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Tips:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Find out who avoids pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
Our chef cooks and our staff serve, so the queue keeps moving.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
How it works
Running late? Tell us as early as you can, and we’ll work around it. For an evening event in Northfleet, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it goes at about 7:00pm. After dark, the serving table needs lighting.
- Tell us about the event: what it is, when and where.
- We suggest a hog roast, a barbecue or both, and send a quote.
- We confirm the cooking spot with you or the venue.
- We cook on site and serve at the agreed time.
- We clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
