Country parties near Grafty Green suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.
How it works
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your party in Grafty Green. In Grafty Green, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:15pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. After about 3:50pm in December, we need light to carve.

Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing usually contains gluten
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so just let us know.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, particularly when timings shift.

Stuffing and apple sauce
Apple sauce brings sweetness and sharpness are the traditional pairing. Note that stuffing normally contains gluten.
Crackling
For many people, the crackling is the best bit: golden, crunchy and salty.
Planning the cooking spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A step-free way into the garden
- Somewhere dry for guests to eat
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I cook it myself?
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.

Grafty Green: your questions answered
Could you cook in Kiln Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Nicholas: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A picture helps.
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.
What’s the price?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Do you come to Grafty Green?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Grafty Green and Kent. Tell us the venue and we will quote.

We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
