What happens on the day
Service is quick once we start carving: our chef carves and our staff fill the rolls or plates, with the sides served alongside. When everyone has eaten, we clear up and leave the spot tidy. For an autumn event in Kingston, sunset is around 7:10pm in late September, so evening trading needs lights.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We discuss the package or stall options.
- We roast on the pitch.
- Carving keeps the queue moving.
- We tidy the pitch.
Preparing for the day

Planning help
Is a hog roast right for your event?
Next to a barbecue stall, carving is faster than grilling to order. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Why Kingston hosts choose us
- Carved by our chef in front of your visitors
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling

- All the equipment comes with us
Read our prices page and our hog roast cost guide.
Allergies and dietary needs
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. A few more tips:
- Tell us if there is a vegetarian or vegan focus
- Check other traders are not all selling pork
- Remember stuffing generally contains gluten
- Halal isn’t offered
We work to your event plan, including when vehicles can move.
Tell us about any theme, such as a vintage fête.
Full catering or machine hire?
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
