Party hog roast near Greenhithe
Throwing a party is hard work. A hog roast takes the food off your list: we roast, carve, serve and clear. We serve rotisserie chicken, crackling and a vegan burger or sausage, and typical bookings are for neighbourhood parties and getting-engaged parties.
For a party in Greenhithe, home is frequently the best venue. Let us know how we reach the garden, and we will bring everything else. Plates come as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
The process
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. It then roasts slowly for several hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. For an evening party in Greenhithe, think about light: daylight lasts until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late September it’s around 7:00pm. Lights by the food keep the party going.

Questions from Greenhithe
Can you cater after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Greenhithe from London?
About 17 miles from central London.
Is our garden suitable?
Frequently, yes, if there is a level spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. A photo helps.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. You will get allergen details for everything.
Can we just hire the roaster?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Should we warn the neighbours?
A friendly word helps: roasting takes hours. Some hosts invite them over for a roll.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, at a safe distance from walls and tents. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Should I cook it myself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Hosting a hog roast party in Greenhithe
Greenhithe is about 3 miles east of Dartford, in Kent. We are happy to travel to Greenhithe for parties. We cater 922 places in Kent. We cater events right across the region, from Greenhithe to London (17 miles away).
If the day starts at Church of St Mary, the roast can be ready when everyone gets back. A green space like Castle Hill Park is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, usually the council’s.

You’ll find Greenhithe on the A206, so it is easy for us to reach with the equipment. Nearby, we also cater parties in Swanscombe (1 mile south-east), Stone (1 mile south-west), Bean (2 miles south) and Darenth (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also cater in Dartford (3 miles west), Sevenoaks (12 miles south), Gravesend (4 miles east), Northfleet (3 miles south-east), Swanley (6 miles south-west) and Kings Hill (13 miles south-east).

- Nearby schools include The Ebbsfleet Academy (1.4 miles south-east) and Stone Lodge School (1.5 miles west)
- Local pubs include The White Hart Public House (within half a mile north)
Planning for dietary needs
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
- Think about children’s portions
- Find out who does not eat pork for the alternatives
If the party runs late, the roast can wait a little, so tell us if timings change.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.
