Hog roast hire in Northfleet Green, carved to order
In Northfleet Green, a hog roast is an easy way to feed a lot of people: 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 hog roast rolls, halloumi skewers and crackling, and we’re frequently booked for garden parties and barbecues and wedding breakfasts and evening food.
Somewhere like Northfleet Green, a yard or firm field frequently works. Mention gates and soft ground when you contact us. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
About the food
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Our vegan option is a vegan burger or sausage, in a roll, with salad on the side.
Crackling
Good crackling needs time and heat, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.

- Vehicle access close to the cooking area

Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Step by step
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. In Northfleet Green, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so a summer evening hog roast is normally carved in daylight. In December it’s dark by about 3:50pm, so the cooking and serving area needs lighting.

Your questions about a hog roast in Northfleet Green
Is Northfleet Green too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we do not offer halal meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it’s always worth asking: send us your details through our quote form.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
How do you work out quantities?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you’re feeding, so a good estimate matters. The quote sets it out.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you’re happy to roast and carve yourself. Ask and we will talk you through it.

A hog roast or other catering?
