Party hog roast in Kingswood
Party hog roast in Kingswood, slow-roasted on site
Birthdays, christenings and summer parties in Kingswood suit a hog roast: one roast, enough for a crowd. Our staff serve and clear. We are often asked to cater garden parties and christenings, with jacket potatoes, coleslaw and rotisserie chicken.
Near Kingswood, parties are frequently in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and ground, and we’ll handle the rest. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you are not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
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.

The biggest factors are:

Kingswood questions
Is Kingswood too small for a hog roast?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Kingswood?
Harrietsham station, about 2.1 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you bring plates?
We bring plates as standard. China crockery is available on request and quoted separately.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear up after service, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can you do gluten-free?
Ask for gluten-free rolls and we will bring them. You’ll get allergen details for everything.
Can you cook inside a hall or marquee?
It cooks outside, under a gazebo, on a level spot. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
When should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Do you serve the food?
No need for your own staff: our chef carves and our team serves and clears.

Looking after everyone
Standard rolls and stuffing contain gluten, so ask for gluten-free rolls if you need them. Other tips:
- Remember stuffing normally contains gluten
- Collect dietary needs when guests reply
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
We set up where we agreed and stay out of the way, leaving the garden to you and your guests.
Ask about china for a sit-down party, at extra cost.
What the cooking area needs
It’s worth planning the cooking area in advance. The ideal spot has:
- A step-free way into the garden
- Space away from the house, fences, sheds and trees
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors for guests if it rains
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Kingswood
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: the meat cooks gently until it is tender while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. At midsummer, it is light in Kingswood until about 9:15pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:00pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Show us the garden or drive.
- We check the space and quote.
- On the day, we roast slowly under cover.
- We serve when you’re ready.
- We clear up so you do not have to.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, open area outside for cooking
- Gather dietary requirements early
