About our party hog roast in Longfield Hill

Longfield Hill parties: what to know
Longfield Hill is about 3 miles south of Northfleet, in Kent. Parties in Longfield Hill are part of our patch, as well as the surrounding area. We bring hog roasts to all 922 towns and villages across Kent, from the larger towns to small villages. We cater events right across the region, from Longfield Hill to London (about 20 miles away).
Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of St Mildred, with a hog roast at home or in a hall afterwards. Within reach of Longfield Hill are historic houses such as Cobham College (2.8 miles east). Grand settings like these frequently have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Longfield Hill is within about 8 miles of the Kent Downs National Landscape, so a garden party here comes with a lovely backdrop.
Parties anywhere in DA3 start with an outdoor spot for the roaster and a serving time. Whether your party is on Main Road, Nurstead Lane and Ryecroft or a nearby road, we can set up and roast there.

How the day works
On the day, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, timed so it is ready when you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Longfield Hill until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.

Catered or do it yourself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
Questions from Longfield Hill
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mildred: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Could you cook in Rectory Meadow?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What do you need from us on the day?
A clear, level cooking spot, a route to wheel the equipment in and a contact for the day. We bring everything else.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, DIY machine hire is available. We’ll talk you through it when we quote.
Is a hog roast good for a children’s party?
Generally, yes, so we get the amounts right.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
Can you cater in Longfield Hill?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
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 photo helps.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You’ll get allergen information for everything we serve. To make the most of it:
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
At food time, we carve and serve, then tidy up.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Served when you’re ready, and we tidy the serving area afterwards
