Our hog roast service in Gravesend
Gravesend is a Thames-side town with a long maritime past, a riverside promenade, and a passenger ferry across to Tilbury. Pocahontas is buried at St George's Church here. The town is also one of the most diverse in Kent, and Ebbsfleet International, just to the west, puts it within easy reach of London by high-speed train.
Our catering here is often a mix. A traditional hog roast is still a favourite, but in Gravesend we're asked for whole lamb and BBQ chicken just as often, especially for family gatherings where not everyone eats pork. Everything is cooked on site and served by our own team.
We cater across Gravesend as part of our hog roast catering in Kent. For the full picture of how we work, see our hog roast catering page.
Where we cater in Gravesend
In town, events range from community celebrations and faith-group gatherings to school fairs, sports-club days and garden parties in Northfleet, Riverview Park and Singlewell. South of the A2 the landscape turns rural quickly, and the villages of Meopham, Istead Rise and Higham have village greens, cricket clubs and farmland for summer events and weddings.
For community and faith events we're used to working to specific dietary requirements. We'll talk through the menu in detail, and where you ask for it we can leave pork off entirely and serve lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes instead.

BBQ catering in Gravesend
For events in Gravesend with a mixed crowd or a tight serving window, we often suggest a BBQ, either on its own or running alongside the hog roast. Two serving points shorten the queue and give everyone more to choose from.

Events we cater in Gravesend
Wedding hog roasts
For Gravesend weddings, a spit-roast lamb carved at the counter is often as popular as pork. Receptions in marquees on nearby farmland or in large community halls both work well, and we can scale up for bigger family weddings with a combined lamb, chicken and BBQ menu.

Hog roasts for birthday parties · Private party cateringWhat we cook
Pork hog roast
The classic. A whole pig roasts slowly for hours until the meat is tender and the skin has turned to crackling, then we carve it to order — into soft rolls with stuffing and apple sauce, or onto plates with salads and potatoes.
View our hog roast menuLamb roast
A whole lamb on the spit gives the same sense of occasion as a hog roast with a lighter, herby feel. Serve it in flatbreads with minted yoghurt, or plated with potatoes and gravy.
A whole lamb roastBBQ options
Beef burgers, pork sausages, marinated and BBQ-glazed chicken, veggie burgers, halloumi and plant-based sausages — pick three or four and we'll handle the rest.
BBQ packagesSides & salads
Most Gravesend events pick two to four sides. Summer menus lean towards coleslaw, leaf salads, tomatoes and potato salad; evening and winter events tend to want fries, sweet potato fries or new potatoes. We bring the breads, rolls and sauces too.
Vegetarian, vegan & dietary options
Most Gravesend events have guests who don't eat pork, and many have vegetarians, vegans and people with allergies. We cook meat-free dishes separately when asked, label every dish, and can build a pork-free menu around lamb or the BBQ. Our allergen information explains what we can and can't guarantee.
