Hog roast hire for your event in Denton
A whole hog, roasted for hours and carved in front of your guests: that’s what you get when you book a hog roast in Denton. Rolls, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling come as standard, with sides and extras to choose from. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken, and we’re often booked for community events and birthdays and anniversaries.

Planning help
Denton: your questions answered
Could you cook in Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first.
Which station is closest to Denton?
The closest is Gravesend station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Do you travel across Kent?
All of Kent is in our area. Tell us the venue for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What if it rains?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
Is our garden big enough?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Describe the space and we’ll tell you honestly.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Planning for dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing normally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Find out who does not eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
