Country parties near Kingsmead suit a hog roast: slow-roasted and eaten outside. Have a covered area for guests in wet weather. The hog is roasted on site at your party, low and slow, for hours, then carved fresh for your guests.
About the food
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Not everyone eats meat, so halloumi and vegetable skewers make sure they’re not left with just salad.
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal.

Details that help
To get the best quote, send us:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Your menu choices
- The venue or postcode
- Any dietary needs or allergies

Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Many venues set rules for outside caterers, including where gas cooking is allowed. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
What the cooking area needs
Most gardens, car parks, yards and fields work with a little planning. Here’s what helps:
- A level spot in the garden, on the patio or drive
- Clearance from walls, fences and overhanging branches
- Space for our vehicle near the drive
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY versus a catered hog roast
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.
Full catering or machine hire? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
