Party hog roast in Medway: what to expect

A party hog roast turns a garden party into an occasion. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you’re ready, so you can enjoy your own party. On the menu are coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and a vegan burger or sausage, and we are frequently booked for christenings and big birthday parties.

We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting cannot be rushed. Your guests will smell it long before they see it.

  1. Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
  2. We check the space and quote.
  3. We cook for hours on site.
  4. We serve when you are ready.
  5. We leave the garden tidy.

Celebrations across Medway

Across Medway, town gardens tend to be smaller and village lanes narrower. Tell us which applies to you.

Gillingham: After a christening at a church like Holy Trinity Church, a hog roast in the garden is an easy way to feed family and friends. Nearby historic houses include Restoration House (3.3 miles west) and Temple Manor (4 miles west). If you are hiring a historic venue for a big birthday, check its rules on outside caterers first. In Gillingham, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.

Planning the cooking spot

The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Things to check:

  • Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
  • Space for our vehicle near the drive
  • Access for the roaster through a gate or passage

Full catering or machine hire?

Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.

DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.

A hog roast or other catering?

Compared with a barbecue, no one gets stuck at the grill, and everyone eats together.

Questions to ask before booking

  • The space, cover and access they need
  • Staffing on the day
  • Arrival time and how long the roast needs
  • How dietary needs are handled

Working with your venue

For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, the landowner needs to agree to cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.

Planning for dietary needs

Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Some ideas:

  • Add a dietary question to the invite
  • Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
  • Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
  • Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten

At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.

Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.

  • Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
