How our party hog roast works in Ebbsfleet Valley
For a relaxed party, you can hire the machine and cook it yourself. Most hosts prefer us to do it, and spend time with their guests. We serve coleslaw, rotisserie chicken and hog roast rolls, and typical bookings are for neighbourhood parties and back-garden get-togethers.
Parties around Ebbsfleet Valley are frequently relaxed garden affairs. A hog roast fits right in. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.
A closer look at the menu
Stuffing and apple sauce
A spoonful of apple sauce and a slice of stuffing make the roll.
Roast pork
The hog roasts slowly for hours, so the meat is tender and juicy, and our chef carves it to order.

Common questions in Ebbsfleet Valley
Which station is closest to Ebbsfleet Valley?
Ebbsfleet International station, about 0.9 miles north-east of the centre.
Could you cook in Castle Hill Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
If you’re happy to roast and carve, yes. Most people prefer us to cook so they can enjoy the party.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Not to cook, because the roaster is gas-fired. Let us know what’s on site.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we’ll bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can you cater in Ebbsfleet Valley?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we will confirm availability.
When do you start roasting?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
Looking after everyone
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about children’s portions
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
Add coleslaw, salads and jacket potatoes to make it a full meal.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
