Party hog roast in St Mary Cray
How our party hog roast works in St Mary Cray
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’re ready, so you can enjoy your own party. Popular choices include coleslaw, a vegan burger or sausage and crackling, and typical bookings are for christenings and back-garden get-togethers.
In St Mary Cray, a party at home is the usual choice, and access is the question. With no side passage, a rear gate or front garden may work. A photo helps. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours.

For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? One clear contact makes everything easier, especially on the day.
If you are booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
Planning for dietary needs
Some guests will not eat pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Let us know roughly how many children
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Tell us how many vegetarians and vegans to expect
On the day, we arrive hours before the party starts, so the smell is the first thing guests notice.
Bunting or festoon lights near the serving table make a lovely party setting.
What happens on the day
Expect a calm, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, use the cooking spot you’ve chosen, and roast, carve and serve without fuss. For an evening party in St Mary Cray, think about light: it is light until about 9:20pm in June but only about 7:05pm in late September. A string of lights over the serving table works wonders.
