About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and it suits fussy eaters.
Crackling
The skin crisps up over the hours of roasting, and there is a piece for everyone who wants it.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Rolls and stuffing usually contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Think about children’s portions
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Halal isn’t offered, so arrange it separately if needed
Warn the neighbours: the roast cooks for hours.
Add chicken for younger or fussier guests.
How we price a hog roast for your party
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Crockery choices
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- The date and time of year
- How easy it is to reach the spot
The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.

Events we cater in Ebbsfleet

Here’s what people in Ebbsfleet most often book a hog roast for:
- Leaving and retirement do’s
- Getting-engaged parties
- Summer parties in the garden
- Ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries
A green space like Sandwich and Pegwell Bay is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s.

- The menu, including sides and any extras
- What crockery is supplied
- Exactly what’s included in the price
How the day works
A hog roast is always cooked outside, under a gazebo on level ground, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. A summer party in Ebbsfleet stays light until about 9:15pm 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.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the garden or drive and quote.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Before we arrive
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Is Ebbsfleet too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and the cooking spot.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. Power can help with lighting after dark.

Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
How do we prepare?
The agreed cooking area, access for our equipment and someone to meet us. We’ll bring the rest.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Can you do gluten-free?
Gluten-free rolls are available on request. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
