Hog roast for events in Kew, carved to order
A hog roast can help a fundraiser in Kew attract visitors. We’ll talk through options with you. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, apple sauce and crackling, and we are often booked for small festivals and car shows and rallies.
Street parties and school fairs in Kew suit a hog roast stall, once the permissions are in place. We plan the timings around your day, because the roast has to start hours before you eat.

Before you choose a spot
The roaster needs the right spot, because it cooks outside for several hours, so a few things are worth checking:
- A firm way on and off the field
- Any paperwork the organisers need
- A level pitch with firm ground
As a London location, Kew is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Rolls and gluten-free rolls
A hog roast roll is designed to be eaten in the hand. We can bring gluten-free rolls if you ask.
Planners, venues and businesses
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before you book. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Prices and what affects them
A few things make the biggest difference to the price:
- Site access
- Menu choices and extras
- Plates or china
- The journey to the venue
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what to include:
- Your menu choices
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- Allergies we should know about
When you’re weighing up caterers, check what each quote actually includes. Ours lists it clearly. For a quote, use our quote form.
Kew questions
Which station is closest to Kew?
Chiswick station, about 0.5 miles south-east of the centre.
Could you cook in Kew Green?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you clear up?
We pack everything away after service, so you are not left with the mess.
Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
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.
Do you come to Kew?
We do. Send us the address and we will confirm availability.
Can visitors buy their own food?
Some events pay for a package, others want a stall. We will agree what suits yours.

- We serve to order through the event.
- Afterwards we clear the pitch and go.

Should I cook it myself?
You could go for a cold buffet, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.
The hardest part of a DIY hog roast is timing: a big roast takes hours and must be cooked thoroughly. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Halal isn’t offered
- Show allergens at the stall
- Signpost the stall clearly
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
Name an organiser to meet us.
Ask about gluten-free rolls.
- Roasted on site for several hours, outdoors under cover
- Carved to order by our chef, with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Lamb, chicken and vegetarian options alongside the pork
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
