Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a restaurant outing, a hog roast keeps everyone on site and saves travel. What you pay covers the meat, the chef and staff, and hours of roasting. A long, slow roast means an early start, which is built into the price.
Why book our hog roast in Kingston
- Carved by our chef in front of your staff

Staff days in Kingston: access and travel
Kingston is about 1 mile south-east of Portsmouth, in Portsmouth. Thinking about a hog roast for your team in Kingston? We cover the whole area. Kingston is one of 19 towns and villages in Portsmouth where we cater. Our nearest city page is Southampton, about 16 miles away.
Kingston sits roughly 64 miles from central London. Being near the A288 makes Kingston a simple run. The coast is within about 2 miles, and open sites can be breezy, so we choose a sheltered spot for the roaster.
Wherever your staff event is in PO1, PO3 and PO4, we can bring the roaster to you. Whether your staff event is on Renny Road, Clive Road and Union Road or a nearby road, we will bring the roaster to you. Main roads around Kingston include the A288, so getting the roaster to your staff event is simple. Other places close to Kingston we cover include Fratton (1 mile south-west), Baffins (1 mile north-east), Copnor (1 mile north), Portsmouth (1 mile north-west) and Landport (1 mile west). We also serve nearby towns such as Wymering (3 miles north), Paulsgrove (3 miles north), Cosham (3 miles north), Drayton (3 miles north) and Farlington (3 miles north-east).

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Full catering or machine hire?
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.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
You will get allergen information for everything we serve. To help:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork, for the alternatives
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Give us vegetarian and vegan numbers
- Remember that stuffing normally contains gluten
On the day, we arrive early and set up where agreed, and the roast cooks through the morning.
Tell us about branding or theming for open days.

How it works
We arrive hours before you want to eat, since slow roasting can’t be rushed. The smell normally brings people over long before we carve. Daytime open days in Kingston are rarely affected by light, but in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm, so late events need lighting.
- Send us the site, date, numbers and break time.
- We check access and gas rules and quote.
- We set up early and roast through the morning.
- We serve within your break.
- We pack away and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot
