Party hog roast in Peters Village, slow-roasted on site

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Instead of booking a restaurant, you keep the party at home, with room for everyone. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
Why book with us
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Timed around your day

- Serving and clearing done for you

Diets, allergies and alternatives
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Think about children’s portions
A cooked roast holds for a while, so tell us if timings change.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
Planning a party in Peters Village
Peters Village is about 3 miles west of Chatham, in Medway. We bring a hog roast for your party to parties anywhere in Peters Village, given a suitable outdoor cooking area. We cater 68 places in Medway, from the larger towns to small villages. Our nearest city page is London, about 26 miles away.
Historic houses near Peters Village include Starkey Castle (1.5 miles north) and Temple Manor (3.4 miles north). For most parties, a garden or hall is easier than a historic venue with strict catering rules. A green space like Holborough Marshes is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, normally the council’s.
For parties in ME1, we just need to know where the roaster can cook and a serving time. Streets in the area include Greystone Square, Burners Walk and Tusk Walk, and a party on any of them works with a garden, drive or yard for the roaster. Neighbouring places where we cater parties include Scarborough (1 mile east), Wouldham (1 mile north), Holborough (1 mile west), Burham (1 mile south-east) and Halling (1 mile north-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Gillingham (5 miles north-east), Chatham (3 miles east), Rochester (4 miles north-east), Rainham (6 miles east), Strood (4 miles north) and Luton (4 miles north-east).
Other landmarks nearby include Medway megaliths (2.3 miles south-east) and Pentagon Shopping Centre (4 miles north-east). Within reach you’ll find Burham Down and Blue Bell Hill.
- Schools near Peters Village include The Holmesdale School (1.7 miles south-west)
- Local pubs include The Five Bells pub (0.9 miles north-west)
The process
The roaster is gas-fired, so cooking doesn’t depend on mains power, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Autumn parties in Peters Village get dark early: about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December. Plan lights for the path and the food.
- Start with the date, the address and roughly how many.
- We check the space and send a price.
- We arrive early and get the roast going.
- We carve and serve at food time.
- We tidy up and pack away.
How to prepare
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage

Marquee suppliers typically set distances for cooking equipment, so let them know about the roaster. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.

About the food
