How our party hog roast works in Graveney
In Graveney, a hog roast is a favourite for birthdays and garden parties: one roast, enough for a crowd. We serve and tidy up. For anniversary parties and family reunions, we can cook hog roast rolls, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
In a small place like Graveney, a party in the garden or a nearby field is frequently the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
Where the roaster can go in Graveney
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- Flat ground in the garden or on the drive
- A spot well away from the house
- Parking close to the house
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Hosting a hog roast party in Graveney
Graveney is about 2 miles east of Faversham, in Kent. We take a hog roast for your party to gardens, car parks, yards and venues around Graveney and the surrounding area. Graveney is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Graveney to Canterbury (7 miles away).
If you had South Swale in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we can’t simply set up a roaster in a public park. If guests are coming by rail, the nearest station is Faversham station, about 2.4 miles west. Near the coast, within about 5 miles, gardens can catch the wind, so we plan a sheltered spot.
We cater parties across the ME13 postcode area. We can cater a party on streets such as Murton Place, Sandbanks Lane and Seasalter Road or the roads around them, wherever there’s an outdoor spot for the roaster. We also bring hog roasts to parties in Culmers (1 mile south-west), Broom Street (1 mile north-west), Goodnestone (1 mile south-west), Hernhill (1 mile south-east) and Slutshole (1 mile south-east). Larger places within reach include Ashford (13 miles south), Canterbury (7 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (9 miles west), Whitstable (4 miles north-east), Herne Bay (9 miles east) and Minster (9 miles north-west).
A little further out are Tankerton Castle (4.9 miles north-east) and Whitstable and Tankerton Hospital (5.3 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Blean Woods RSPB Reserve.
- Schools near Graveney include Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School (2.1 miles west)
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it is worth asking first. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We’ll keep you both updated.

What else we do in Graveney
Your questions about a hog roast for your party in Graveney
What about windy coastal sites?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Is Graveney too small for a hog roast?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you be flexible on serving time?
We work back from when you want to eat, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Will the smell bother the neighbours?
Give them a heads-up.
Is clearing up included?
We bring plates and clear up after service.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we will check.
What about guests who don’t eat pork?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We do not offer halal meat.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing generally contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
- Count non-pork eaters for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
Clear the route to the garden before we arrive, so we can wheel the equipment in.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with takeaway pizzas, the roast is an event in itself. For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why book with us
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Served at the time you choose
- Fresh carving at the serving station

How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the roaster goes up and the hog goes on, the roast cooks gently through the day, and our chef carves it when you are ready. A summer party in Graveney stays light until about 9:15pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Tell us about your party: date, address and numbers.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- At food time, the chef carves and we serve.
- We clear the serving area and go.
Preparing for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Tell us about narrow gates or side passages
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
