Christmas hog roast for Denton
How the day works
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, and sides go out at the same time. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. A lunchtime Christmas party in Denton is the only one in good daylight, as it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so evening parties need lights and shelter.
- Ask early for a December date.
- You get a quote with the menu.
- We set up under cover in daylight.
- We serve hot rolls and turkey if you’ve chosen it.
- We tidy up and leave.

Working with your venue
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.
Common questions in Denton
Can you do a hog roast in Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Denton?
Gravesend station, about 1.2 miles north-west of the centre.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Where does the hog roast go?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, well clear of walls, tents and branches. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Is turkey available?
We can: add turkey to the menu.
What about guests who do not eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Who serves?
You don’t need anyone else: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What a hog roast costs
We don’t use a fixed price list, since every event is different. The main factors are:
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- How many people are eating
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Details that help
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- An estimate of numbers
- Any venue rules
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Numbers not final yet? Give us your best estimate and we will quote on that, and you can confirm nearer the time. Fill in our quote form.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
At a winter fair, hot pork rolls are always popular. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Why book with us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Serving and clearing done for you
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
