How our event catering works in Kingston upon Thames
Whoever you book in Kingston upon Thames, you want three things from your caterers: food people enjoy, served on time, with no mess left behind. That’s how we work, with a hog roast or a barbecue. For corporate days and film and TV crews, we’ll put together a menu of halloumi skewers, spit-roast lamb and pulled pork for your guests.
Looking for caterers in Kingston upon Thames? In London, the cooking spot and access matter most. We need an outdoor space and a route in, which rules out some flats but suits most gardens, yards and courtyards. Send us a photo. You will know exactly what’s included before you book.

Common questions in Kingston upon Thames
What if our house in Kingston upon Thames has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Can you do a hog roast in Canbury Gardens?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you need a kitchen at the venue?
No. Everything is cooked outdoors on site, so gardens, fields and car parks all work.
Is our event too small?
Send us the date and rough numbers and we’ll advise, with no obligation.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for summer weekends and Christmas. Midweek dates are frequently easier. Use our quote form.
Do you supply china?
We bring plates; china is extra and on request.
Do you cater large events?
Large events suit a hog roast especially well. Tell us about the event and we will quote.
The menu, dish by dish
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved thick or thin, as people like it, and served hot.
What affects the price in Kingston upon Thames
The price comes down to:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- The journey to the venue
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
Extras such as lamb, chicken, more sides or china crockery add to the cost, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What we need to know
The more we know, the more accurate the quote. Useful details:
- Rough numbers
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the event is
- Dietary requirements
We need a few details to quote: the date and serving time, the venue or KT2 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Send us your details through our quote form.

Planning help
Planners, venues and businesses
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Sort that first.
If you are a venue or event planner, we can fit around your other suppliers, sharing timings and a site plan.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Keep the meat-free options clearly labelled
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Ask about allergies and diets when guests reply
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
On the day, we arrive in good time and set up under cover, where we agreed with you or the venue.
Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed.
