Party hog roast in Denton
Party hog roast in Denton, carved to order
Hosting a party means juggling everything at once. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we cook, carve and serve. Whether it’s leaving and retirement do’s and big family get-togethers, we’ll put together a menu of rotisserie chicken, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls and more.
Around Denton, a garden with room to spare is all you need. It suits that kind of party. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
A closer look at the menu
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken off the rotisserie, carved or jointed goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Denton parties: what to know
Denton is about 1 mile east of Gravesend, in Kent. Our roaster is a regular sight at parties around Denton, from gardens to fields. Denton is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Denton to London (about 22 miles away).
Thinking of a hog roast in Northfleet Urban Country Park? Cooking in a park needs the owner’s permission, normally the council’s, and many parks don’t allow it. Guests arriving by train should know that the closest railway station is Gravesend station, roughly 1.2 miles north-west of the centre.
This part of Kent takes in DA12. Streets in the area include Barr Road, Mark Lane and Forge Lane, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. You will find Denton on the A226, so it’s easy for us to reach with the equipment. For parties just outside Denton, we cover Milton-next-Gravesend (1 mile north-west), Gravesend (1 mile west), Windmill Hill (1 mile west), Singlewell or Ifield (2 miles south-west) and Northfleet (2 miles west). We also serve nearby towns such as Maidstone (13 miles south-east), Dartford (7 miles west), Sevenoaks (14 miles south-west), Swanley (10 miles west), Kings Hill (11 miles south) and Foley Park (12 miles south-east).
A little further out are Gravesham Museum (1.2 miles north-west) and Gravesham Community Hospital (1.4 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Sawyers Lake and Gad's Hill.

Step by step
When we arrive, we set up the roaster on the agreed spot, put the cover up and start the roast. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it’s ready when you want to eat. A summer party in Denton stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:00pm; add lights for the evening.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
