Hog roast hire across DA11
A hog roast is one of the simplest ways to feed a crowd in DA11: a single slow roast, carved to order. Everything comes with us, and we serve and tidy up afterwards. Popular choices include halloumi skewers, salads and crackling, and we are frequently booked for christmas parties and corporate events.
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches. We agree exactly where before the day.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings and where the roaster goes.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we pack away.
Prices in DA11
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

Hog roast catering in DA11: local guide
Across DA11, we cover 3 towns and 2 villages and hamlets, so the setting can be anything from Gravesend, Northfleet and Windmill Hill to a quiet hamlet: level ground, access and agreed timings.
Northfleet: If you had Northfleet Urban Country Park in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. Nearby historic houses include Cobham College (3.7 miles south-east). Estates like these tend to have strict rules for caterers, so check before booking. Planning an evening hog roast in Northfleet? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.

Common questions in DA11
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
No, the roast is always cooked outdoors under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
What if things run late?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.

Crackling is part of every roll for anyone who wants it.
Do you bring plates?
Plates come as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
