What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- Somewhere for staff to eat if it rains
- A named contact for the day
- A level spot in the car park, yard or grounds
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
How the day works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. Your staff will still want somewhere dry to eat, such as a marquee, hall or barn. After-work summer events in Kings Hill have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer and 8:50pm in late May, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- Tell us where, when, how many and the serving time.
- We check access and the cooking area, then quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- The team carves and serves on time.
- We tidy up and leave the site clean.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Name a contact for the day
- Ensure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees

Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with sandwich platters, hot carved pork feels much more special. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why book with us
- Timed around your day
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside
- Fresh carving at the serving station
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, and salads and new potatoes work well on a plate.
Organising for someone else?
If the event is on someone else’s land, you’ll need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Our chef carves the pork, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling on the side
- Options beyond pork, including lamb, chicken and vegetarian dishes
- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
