About hog roast hire in DA12
Hog roast hire means a whole pig roasted slowly at your venue, for hours, under a gazebo outside. When it’s ready, our chef carves it and our staff serve it in soft rolls with sage and onion stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, rotisserie chicken and crackling, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and anniversaries and village fêtes and school fairs.
When we arrive, we position the roaster under cover and get the hog cooking. From there it cooks low and slow for hours, worked back from your serving time.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and the cooking spot, then send a quote.
- Timings and the cooking area are agreed in advance.
- On the day we roast for hours, then carve to order.
- We serve, tidy up and leave the spot clean.

Hog roast catering in DA12: local guide
DA12 covers everything from Gravesend, Windmill Hill and Milton-next-Gravesend to 11 small villages and hamlets, and a hog roast works in all of them. Town bookings mean planning access; village bookings mean planning lanes and ground.
Gravesend: For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Christ Church Milton, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby. School fairs and fundraisers, for a school such as Whitehill Primary School, can book a hog roast stall. Planning an evening hog roast in Gravesend? Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:00pm in late September; once it’s dark, we need light at the carving station.
The menu, dish by dish
Roast pork
We carve as we serve, so it stays hot and juicy right to the last roll.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- How many people are eating
- Site access
- The date and time of year
- Whether you want china
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. Keeping it simple keeps it affordable.

Looking after everyone
Most people love a hog roast, but it’s pork. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- If anyone needs halal food, plan a separate option
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We arrive hours ahead, set up, roast, carve and serve, and our staff clear the serving area afterwards.
We can supply china instead of standard plates, quoted separately.
A hog roast or other catering?
Next to a buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon.

DIY machine hire is available. We’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.
