Landmarks near Gillingham
We set up for events around Chatham Free Library, The Robert Napier School and Featherby Junior School and the streets around them. Other local landmarks include The Robert Napier School (0.8 miles north-west), Ambley Wood (0.8 miles south), Holy Trinity Church (under half a mile north-east) and The Star pub (0.6 miles west). The nearest railway station is Gillingham (Kent) station, about 1.5 miles north-west of the centre.

Planning a hog roast in Medway
There are 5 towns and 48 villages and hamlets in Medway, so the setting can be anything from Gillingham, Chatham and Rochester to a quiet hamlet: a level outdoor spot, a way in and a plan.
Gillingham: If you had Ambley Wood in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. If you’re gathering after a service at a church like Holy Trinity Church, a nearby hall or garden suits a hog roast. Evenings in Gillingham stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:00pm; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
Occasions we serve in Medway
It’s generous, hearty food that most people love, and lamb, chicken and vegetarian options look after the rest.
These are some of the most popular hog roast bookings near Medway:
- Wedding breakfasts and evening food
- Club events and presentations
- Corporate events
- Birthdays and anniversaries
Planning for dietary needs
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
You will not need to worry about the food on the day. We get there early, cook, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
Prefer to cook yourself? Ask about DIY machine hire.
For event organisers in Medway
Planning on behalf of a committee? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so check before booking. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Planning the cooking spot
It is worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A way to wheel the roaster to the spot
- A safe distance from walls, tents and trees
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
Common questions in Medway
Can we choose catered or DIY?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
Do we need a big space?
Many gardens are big enough, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps us check.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is generally fine if the venue is happy.
Is it just pork?
It is built around the hog, with lamb and chicken as extras.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. Everything for roasting and serving comes with us.
