Looking after everyone
Not everyone eats pork, so it is worth adding an alternative. A few pointers:
- Request gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Remember that stuffing generally contains gluten, so ask for the allergen list
- Ask us to keep the vegetarian food separate and labelled
Let us know if the day runs late: we can hold the roast for a while.
We also hire out the roaster for DIY hog roasts.
Full catering or machine hire?
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You do the roasting and carving; we’ll confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
The menu, dish by dish
Vegan burger or sausage (Ve)
Let us know numbers for the vegan option, and we will plan the vegan burgers or sausages.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Coleslaw is the natural partner for a pork roll, while salads and potatoes make a plated meal.
For event organisers in Kit's Coty
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, tell us who our contact on the day will be. We will keep everyone in the loop.
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so check before booking. We’ll work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
FAQs for Kit's Coty
How far is Kit's Coty from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Kit's Coty?
Aylesford station, about 2.3 miles south-west of the centre.
What happens in bad weather?
The roaster is under cover, so a shower doesn’t stop us. Your guests will want somewhere dry to eat.
Do you serve the food?
We carve and serve for you, then clear the serving area afterwards.
What space does the roaster need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a picture if you’re unsure.
How long does a hog roast take to cook?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
What meats can we have?
It is built around the hog, but lamb and chicken can be added.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Compared with a cold buffet, a hog roast is hot, freshly carved and feels like an occasion. A buffet can sit out all afternoon. When comparing prices, compare the same things: menu, sides, serving time, staff, plates and travel. A cheaper headline price can leave things out.
Why us?
- Planned to your running order
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it
- No surprises: everything in writing
