Common questions in Kimpton
Is Kimpton close to London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Kimpton too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is mains power needed?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. A socket nearby is useful for lighting.
Who serves?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
Do December dates go quickly?
Very quickly, so ask early. Weekdays often have more availability.
What happens after service?
Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.
Do you come to Kimpton?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, Kimpton and the rest of Hampshire included. Send us the address for a quote.
Can you serve inside our office or hall?
We cook outside, but can normally serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Before you choose a spot
Most outdoor spaces can work with a little planning. Here’s what we look for:
- A firm surface, as winter grass can be soft
- A level spot outdoors with lighting nearby
- Parking near the cooking area
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Is a hog roast right for your Christmas party?
Mix and match: turkey and pork together. Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups typically cost less per head, since much of the cost is fixed.
Why Kimpton hosts choose us

- Served at the time you choose
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- A clear quote with everything listed
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Halal is not offered, so arrange it separately
- Find out who’d prefer turkey or chicken
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans
If the party runs late, we can hold the roast a little, so keep us posted.
Festive lights around the serving area look great.
Full catering or machine hire?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
If you are confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
What comes off the roaster
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
We can serve in rolls or on plates, and gluten-free rolls are available on request.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Vegetarians get halloumi and vegetable skewers, a hot, filling option of their own.
