Party hog roast in Scarborough, carved to order
A hog roast works for street parties as well, once the road closure or permission is in place. Whether it is milestone birthdays and garden parties, we can cook coleslaw, hog roast rolls and rotisserie chicken for your guests.
In a small place like Scarborough, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring plates as standard, and china crockery is available on request, quoted separately.

A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a party buffet, a hog roast is hot and freshly carved, and nothing sits out all afternoon. Midweek and quieter months are frequently easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.
Why book with us
- Crackling for everyone who wants it
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Our staff serve and clear
- Cooked on the day, low and slow

Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we’ll help. Some ideas:
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
- Think about children’s portions
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Check the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten
Have a word with the neighbours first: the roast cooks for hours.
Gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Scarborough: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Scarborough?
The closest is Snodland station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Can you cater after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We work back from your serving time.
What if things run late?
Within reason, we can. Keep us posted on the day and we will adjust.
Do you bring plates?
We supply plates as standard. China is available at an extra cost.
What about kids?
Yes, and tell us how many children are coming, so we can plan quantities.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
Add lamb, chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers or a vegan option. We don’t offer halal meat.
What if it rains?
Rain does not stop the cooking. Somewhere covered for people to eat helps.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, set up under cover and start roasting, the pork cooks slowly for hours, and our chef carves it when you’re ready. In Scarborough, late May sunsets come at about 8:50pm and midsummer ones at about 9:20pm, so most summer parties eat in daylight. Winter parties, dark by about 3:50pm, need lights by the roaster.
- Send a photo of where the roaster could go.
- We confirm it works and send a quote.
- We cook for hours on site.
- Our staff serve rolls and sides.
- We leave the garden tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Make sure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
- Name a contact for the day

Planning a party in Scarborough
Scarborough is about 3 miles south-west of Chatham, in Medway. Our roaster is a regular sight at parties around Scarborough, from gardens to fields. We bring hog roasts to all 68 towns and villages across Medway, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from Scarborough to London (about 27 miles away).
Nearby historic houses include Starkey Castle (1.7 miles north) and Temple Manor (3.4 miles north). Grand settings like these often have strict rules on caterers, so for most parties a garden or hired hall is simpler. A green space like Holborough Marshes is tempting, but a gas-fired roaster there needs the landowner’s say-so, generally the council’s.
Anywhere in ME1, we can bring the roaster to you. Whether your party is on Pilgrims Way and Scarborough Lane or a nearby road, we’ll bring the roaster to you.

Catered or do it yourself?
