Hog roast hire for Northfleet
About our hog roast hire in Northfleet
Booking a hog roast means you do not have to cook. We arrive hours before you eat, set up under cover and roast slowly, ready to carve when you are. Typical bookings include clubhouse events and weddings, day or evening, serving crackling, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes.
There are lots of options in a town like Northfleet: your own garden, a club, a hall or a pub garden. We will agree where the roaster goes beforehand. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve.
Why choose hog roast hire in Northfleet?

Historic houses near Northfleet include Cobham College (3.7 miles south-east). Historic venues frequently limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one.

Step by step
Serving is straightforward: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. Afterwards we clear the serving area and pack away. In Northfleet, 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. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- We pack everything away when everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Check there’s a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

What a hog roast costs
Your quote depends on:
- Crockery choices
- How many people are eating
- The date and time of year
- Which meats and sides you choose
For larger numbers, a hog roast is generally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Dietary requirements

Catered or do it yourself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
