How the day works
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin crisps into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In Kingston, summer evenings stay light until about 9:15pm, which suits a team barbecue-style evening. In late September, the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- Contact us with the basics.
- We check with facilities and quote.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- Service is fast once we carve.
- We clear up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Check there is a route to wheel the equipment in, without steps

Your questions about a hog roast for your team in Kingston
Do you cater at venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Do you come out to small places like Kingston?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can we hire the machine and cook it ourselves?
Yes, we hire out the hog roast machine. We will explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
Can you work around our timings?
Because the roast takes hours, we plan from your serving time, and we can hold the roast for a while if the day runs behind.
Does the roaster have to be outside?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. We can often serve indoors if the venue agrees.
Can you feed everyone in a short break?
Give us your break time and numbers and we’ll plan around them.
What comes with the hog roast?
Rolls with roast pork, stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Extras include lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers, a vegan option, salads and potatoes.
Can you feed staff and families?
Yes, a hog roast suits open days, with alternatives for everyone.
Catered or do it yourself?
We also hire out the hog roast machine for confident cooks. You do the roasting and carving; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
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.
For planners, venues and organisers
For events on land you don’t own, such as a park or field, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it is worth asking first. We’ll liaise with them on access and set-up.

- Our team serves at your chosen time and clears up afterwards
