Party hog roast for Luton
Planning a party in Luton
Luton is about 1 mile north of Chatham, in Medway. Luton and the surrounding area are covered for parties. Luton is one of 68 places in Medway we cover. We cater events right across the region, from Luton to Canterbury (24 miles away).
Historic houses near Luton include Restoration House (1.8 miles north-west) and Temple Manor (2.5 miles north-west). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. Parks such as Gillingham Park normally need permission from the council or landowner for any cooking, so check first.
For parties in ME4, ME5 and ME7, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Your party could be at a house on Mill Lane, Luton Road and Maida Road, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook. Other places close to Luton we cover include Hale (1 mile south-east), Chatham (1 mile south), Darland (1 mile south-east), Chatham Waterfront (1 mile north-west) and Capstone (1 mile south-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Rainham (3 miles east), Strood (3 miles north-west), Park Wood (3 miles south-east), Hoo St Werburgh (4 miles north), Wigmore (3 miles east) and Peters Village (4 miles south-west). As one of the bigger places in Medway, Luton has lots of places with room for a hog roast.
Well-known places in the area include Pentagon Shopping Centre (1.1 miles north-west) and Six Poor Travellers House (2 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Ranscombe Farm and Blue Bell Hill.
- Nearby schools include The Victory Academy (under half a mile south-west) and Hospital and Medical Tuition Service (0.7 miles north-east)
- Nearby, you will find The Magpie Tavern (less than half a mile north)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Chatham Free Library (0.7 miles north) and City of Rochester-upon-Medway (2.3 miles north-west)
Party hog roast in Luton, carved to order
A hog roast makes a party at home feel special. We set up in your garden or on the drive, roast slowly for hours and carve when you are ready, so you’re not stuck in the kitchen. On the menu are crackling, a vegan burger or sausage and hog roast rolls, and we are regularly asked to cater retirement parties and christenings.
Parties around Luton are frequently relaxed garden affairs. It suits that kind of party. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information for every dish before booking.
For event organisers in Luton
For events on land you do not own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

FAQs for Luton
Could you cook in Gillingham Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you cater after a service at Saint Paul with All Saints?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. Please note we don’t offer halal meat.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You will get allergen details for everything.
What space does the roaster need?
A level, open area outdoors with room for the roaster, a gazebo and a carving table, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging trees. We will confirm the space with your quote.
Do you come to Luton?
We do. Send us the address and we’ll confirm availability.
