Party hog roast in Northfleet, carved to order
Plan where the roaster will go: a level spot away from the house and trees, under cover. We will help you choose. Whether it’s close and cul-de-sac parties and ruby, golden and diamond anniversaries, we can cook hog roast rolls, jacket potatoes and coleslaw.
In a town like Northfleet, a garden party with a hog roast is a classic choice, with a local hall or club as a good back-up. We need a level spot away from the house. The carving happens right in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
Step by step
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with roasting and serving. By late September, sunset in Northfleet is about 7:00pm; by December it’s about 3:50pm. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get a check on the date and the cooking spot, and a quote.
- On the day we arrive hours ahead and start the roast under cover.
- When it’s time to eat, the chef carves and we serve.
- We pack away and leave the garden tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, open spot outdoors for the roaster
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

What comes off the roaster
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Rotisserie chicken
Chicken from the rotisserie gives people a non-pork choice, roasted until golden.
How we price a hog roast for your party
We work out each quote from:
- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- Distance from us
- Access to the cooking area
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we’re on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What to tell us
When you get in touch, please mention:
- A photo of the cooking area
- Rough numbers
- Any extras, such as lamb, chicken or china
- Rules from the venue or landowner
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or DA11 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.
Northfleet questions
Could you cook in Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
What’s the nearest station to Northfleet?
Gravesend station, about 1 mile north-east of the centre.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you’re unsure.
Do you need power or water?
The roaster runs on gas, so we don’t need mains power to cook. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Do you do DIY hire for parties?
Yes, for confident cooks. Catering is the easier option.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we will send a price.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
What’s included?
Roast pork carved into soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. You can add lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options, salads, coleslaw and potatoes.

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately if needed
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.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Served by our staff at the time you choose, then cleared away
