Hog roast for events in Northfleet, carved to order
Organisers need traders who turn up and serve well. We bring everything, roast on the pitch and leave it clean. We serve rotisserie chicken, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and we’re frequently booked for village fêtes and charity days.
A town like Northfleet has schools, churches, clubs and parks that run events through the year. A hog roast suits all of them. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.

Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
For workplace bookings, check with facilities about gas equipment and vehicle access. We work to the site’s rules.
Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Room for a queue that doesn’t block paths
- A safe distance from other traders
- Any paperwork the organisers need

DIY versus a catered hog roast
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can get on with your event. At midsummer, events in Northfleet stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps
- Give us final numbers a week or so before
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
