Party hog roast for Watt's Cross
Is a hog roast right for your party?
Compared with a buffet, hot carved pork feels more special, and nothing sits out all afternoon. The main driver is numbers: the price per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Cooked on the day, low and slow
- An itemised quote
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to

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. Whether it is retirement parties and street parties, we can cook jacket potatoes, apple sauce and hog roast rolls and more.

Common questions in Watt's Cross
Can you cater after a service at Parish Church of St John?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Which station is closest to Watt's Cross?
Hildenborough station, about 0.6 miles south of the centre.
Will there be enough to go round?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is normally fine if the venue is happy.
Do you offer gluten-free rolls?
We can supply gluten-free rolls on request. We will give you full allergen information for every dish.
Can you cater in Watt's Cross?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, Watt's Cross and the rest of Kent included. Tell us the venue and we will quote.
Do we need to provide electricity?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
Can you do a hog roast in our back garden?
Describe the space and the way in, and we’ll give you an honest answer.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Add a dietary question to the invite
- Count non-pork eaters so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Let us know roughly how many children
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, so the party carries on around us.
China crockery is available on request, at extra cost.

Step by step
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. A summer party in Watt's Cross stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, which is exactly what a slow hog roast gives it.
Roast pork
Hours of slow roasting make the pork soft and full of flavour, and our chef carves it to order.
Should I cook it myself?
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is usually easier.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Freshly carved pork with crackling, stuffing and apple sauce
- Vegetarian and vegan choices, plus lamb or chicken if you like
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
