For event organisers in Kingwood Common
Some venues charge a fee if you bring in your own caterer, so it’s worth asking first. We will work with the venue on access and the cooking spot.
Marquee suppliers generally set distances for cooking equipment, so tell them a hog roast is coming. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
Why choose a hog roast in Kingwood Common?
Instead of booking a restaurant, a hog roast at home lets everyone relax in the garden. The main driver is numbers: bigger groups normally cost less per head, because the roaster, staff and travel cost much the same either way.
Why us?
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit
- Our staff serve and clear
- A clear quote with everything listed
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

The process
The secret is time: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. At midsummer, it is light in Kingwood Common until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us your party date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check the space and send a clear quote.
- We set up early and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves and our staff serve when you’re ready.
- Afterwards we tidy up the serving area.
How to prepare
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches

Looking after everyone
Rolls and stuffing typically contain gluten, and gluten-free rolls are available on request. A few more tips:
- Give us numbers for vegetarians and vegans
- Find out who does not eat pork so we can bring chicken or a vegetarian option
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Keep the vegetarian option labelled
We get there early to start the roast, so it is cooking when guests arrive.
Rotisserie chicken is popular at family parties.
