How our hog roast for events works in Kingston by Sea

For events in a place like Kingston by Sea, one hot-food trader most people like makes life easy. Roast pork rolls do exactly that. Everything is cooked on the day, at your venue, low and slow, for hours, and carved only when you are ready to eat.

Kingston by Sea is about 1 mile east of Shoreham-by-Sea, in West Sussex. Thinking about a hog roast for your event in Kingston by Sea? We can help. Kingston by Sea is one of 371 towns and villages in West Sussex we cover.
School fairs, for a school like Glebe Primary School, are a natural fit for a hog roast. If your event is in Benfield Hill, the organiser will need the landowner’s permission for hot-food traders and vehicles. Within about 8 miles is the South Downs National Park, where events may have extra rules on cooking and waste; we work to the site rules. The coast is within about 2 miles of Kingston by Sea, so for seaside events we plan a sheltered pitch.

What happens on the day
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. For an autumn event in Kingston by Sea, sunset is around 7:05pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Organisers send us the event details.
- We confirm the pitch and send a price.
- We set up early on the pitch.
- We serve as visitors arrive.
- We pack down and take our waste.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers ahead of the day
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Ensure we can wheel the roaster to the spot

Should I cook it myself?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll explain what’s supplied and how it works when we quote.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is generally easier.

Working with your venue
Event organisers often ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we will confirm what we can provide.
Venues frequently have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Check early, and pass on anything they need from us.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what affects the price:
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Site access
- Distance from us
- Season and day of the week
Numbers make the biggest difference: bigger groups usually cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
What we need to know
When you get in touch, please mention:
- Rules from the venue or landowner
- What the outdoor space is like
- Where the event is
- Roughly how many people
