Slow-roasted pork in Kingston upon Thames
Hog roast hire for your event in Kingston upon Thames
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Kingston upon Thames, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. We serve hog roast rolls, crackling and new potatoes, and we’re often booked for work summer parties and clubhouse events.
In a London neighbourhood like Kingston upon Thames, the big question is getting the roaster to the cooking spot. Many terraced houses have no side access, so tell us whether there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use, and send us a picture. Our chef carves in front of your guests, so every roll gets hot pork and a piece of crackling, and nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

About the food
Spit-roast lamb
Spit-roast lamb cooks slowly like the hog, carved to order at the serving station.
Rotisserie chicken
Rotisserie chicken is there for anyone who’d rather not have pork, and children typically like it too.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans for the halloumi skewers and vegan option
- Ask about allergies when you send invitations
- Tell guests what’s on the menu in advance
We bring the cover, the carving table and the serving kit, so all you need is the space.
Ask for gluten-free rolls for anyone who needs them.
Planning a hog roast in Kingston upon Thames

Kingston upon Thames is one of 764 towns and villages in Greater London where we cater. We cater events right across the region, from Kingston upon Thames to London (11 miles away).
If you had Canbury Gardens in mind, ask the council or landowner first: we cannot simply set up a roaster in a public park. For a christening or gathering after a service at a church such as Church of St Luke, the roaster can be set up at a hall or home nearby.

We can cater an event on streets such as Sigrist Square, Old London Road and London Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere outside to cook.

How big a hog will we need?

Do you serve the food?
Our chef carves and our staff serve, then clear the serving area afterwards.

Planning help
Should I cook it myself?
Roasting a whole hog yourself is possible, but it takes hours of attention, from setting up and lighting the roaster to carving. A catered hog roast means you can enjoy the day.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
