What else we do in West Kingsdown
What we serve, dish by dish
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Our vegetarian option is halloumi and vegetable skewers: squeaky, salty cheese with colourful veg, in a roll or on a plate.
Roast pork
Our chef carves the pork as it is needed, so it stays hot and juicy.
How it works
We roast under cover, so a shower won’t spoil the food. It’s worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. In December, West Kingsdown is dark by about 3:50pm, so the pitch needs good lighting and a clear route for the queue.
- Start with the date and numbers.
- We agree how food will be paid for.
- We arrive and set up under cover.
- We serve rolls quickly.
- We clear up and go.
Before we arrive
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Check there’s nothing overhead or close by that could catch the heat

Planning help
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- The menu and extras such as lamb or chicken
- Time on site
- How many people are eating
When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
What we need to know
To check availability and the cooking area, we’ll need:
- A picture of the cooking area
- Dietary requirements
- Which meats and sides you’d like
- Roughly how many people
Busy weekends book up early, especially summer Saturdays and December Fridays. Send us your date for a quote: use our quote form.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Balance the food line-up
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Let us know if many visitors are vegetarian
- Signpost the stall clearly
We follow the organiser’s site rules, including vehicle times and pitch layout.
Chicken widens the choice.
Full catering or machine hire?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
Timing is the tricky part of roasting your own: a whole hog takes hours, and it needs to be cooked through safely. If that sounds stressful, choose the catered option.
Perfect for your event in West Kingsdown
We bring everything, so you only need to provide the pitch.
Whatever the occasion in West Kingsdown, a slow roast goes a long way. We’re often asked to cater:
- Church and village fêtes
- Agricultural and country shows
- Club events
- School fairs and sports days
School fairs, for a school like West Kingsdown CofE VC Primary School, are a natural fit for a hog roast.
Before booking anyone
- Exactly what’s included in the price
- When payments are due and what happens if plans change
- How long the roast takes and when they’ll arrive
- Whether travel is included
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, so a few things are worth checking:
- Access for our vehicle to the pitch
- A level pitch with firm ground
- Clearance from other stalls and tents
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
