Hog roast hire in Milton-next-Gravesend, carved to order
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in Milton-next-Gravesend: one roast, slow-cooked for hours, carved in front of everyone. We bring the roaster, the cover and the serving kit, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, hog roast rolls and salads, and we are regularly asked to cater community events and weddings, day or evening.
For a place the size of Milton-next-Gravesend, your own garden is often the best venue: plenty of room, no hire fees and nobody stuck in the kitchen. Tell us about access down the drive or side of the house. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:
- Count anyone who does not eat pork, and order an alternative for them
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
You won’t need to worry about the food on the day. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, then clear up.
Salads, coleslaw and potatoes make it a full meal, and they’re listed in your quote.
Common questions in Milton-next-Gravesend
Can you do a hog roast in Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come to Milton-next-Gravesend?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Milton-next-Gravesend and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, and we clear up when service is finished.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Each event is priced on its own, depending on numbers, menu, timings and travel. Ask us for a quote.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Do we need to provide electricity?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue, one roast feeds everyone at once, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. Our guide compares the two. Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so we list each one in the quote. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.
Why book with us
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Carved to order by a chef
- A choice of salads and potatoes

The menu, dish by dish
Stuffing and apple sauce
