Step by step

Evening food at a Milton-next-Gravesend wedding often goes out just as the light fades: about 9:20pm at midsummer, 8:50pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September. Festoon lights by the carving station look lovely in the photos.

Milton-next-Gravesend questions
Can you do a hog roast in Northfleet Urban Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You’ll know our arrival time in advance.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you cook inside the marquee?
The roaster stays outdoors on level ground.
Can you cater for vegetarians?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. Halal meat isn’t something we offer.
What do people get?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
For planners, venues and organisers
Booking for a club or group? A single point of contact keeps things simple, especially on the day.
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will confirm what we can provide.

Catered or do it yourself?
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If you’d rather not worry about it, let us cook.
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
How we price a hog roast for your wedding
We don’t use a fixed price list, because every wedding is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Plates or china
- Season and day of the week
- How many people are eating
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so we list each one in the quote. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- The address or postcode
- A picture of the cooking area
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Rough numbers
For a quote, send us a few details: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Confirm final numbers a week or so before
- Put a dietary question on the invitation
On your wedding day, the food should look after itself. We arrive hours before serving, roast through the day and carve on cue.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with pizza or other evening vans, carving serves plenty of people fast. Distance is part of the price: travel is included in your quote, with any London charges listed. Tell us the exact address for an accurate figure.
