Crews in Kingston by Sea work long days, and lunch needs to be hot and on time. A hog roast works well at base: it roasts through the morning and is carved fast when lunch is called. For ad shoots and location shoots, we can cook spit-roast lamb, a vegan option and salads and more.

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.

Questions from Kingston by Sea
Can you roast near the sea around Kingston by Sea?
Yes. Wind is something we plan for: a sheltered spot and secure cover.
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.

It depends on numbers, the menu and how long we’re on site. Tell us your date and we will send a price.

We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Do you do wrap parties?
