Questions from Kingswood
Is Kingswood close to London?
About 37 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Kingswood?
Harrietsham station, about 2.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Is lighting needed?
It gets dark early, so we’ll sort lighting together.
Is there a non-pork option?
We can add lamb or chicken, plus halloumi skewers for vegetarians and a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t provide halal meat.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. Quieter dates can frequently be booked at shorter notice. Send your date and we’ll check.
What’s the price?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Send us the details and we will quote.
Do you come to Kingswood?
We do. Tell us the venue or postcode and we’ll check the date.
How the day works
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. With sunset at about 3:50pm in December, most Christmas parties in Kingswood are after dark. We bring lighting for the cooking area; tell us about lighting on the way to it.

Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Keep vegetarian food labelled
- Count who doesn’t eat pork
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Stuffing generally contains gluten, so check the allergen list
Give us a contact for the evening.
Ask for china for a sit-down Christmas meal, quoted separately.
Should I cook it myself?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
Planning the cooking spot
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- A short route for our equipment
- A lit route to the food
- Indoor space for eating
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Popular choices

What a hog roast costs
Here’s what affects the price:
- How easy it is to reach the spot
- Which meats and sides you choose
- The journey to the venue
- Season and day of the week
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.

What comes off the roaster
