Wedding hog roast near Kingsley
We look after guests who don’t eat pork: spit-roast lamb, rotisserie chicken, halloumi and vegetable skewers and a vegan option. Halal meat is not available. We serve rotisserie chicken, spit-roast lamb and new potatoes, and we are often booked for intimate weddings and home weddings.
Near Kingsley, weddings are frequently in fields, barns or gardens. A hog roast is made for that: no kitchen, just level ground and cover. Let us know about access and ground. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
What the cooking area needs
A good cooking spot makes the day run smoothly. Ideally:
- Clear space away from the marquee and any branches
- A way in for the roaster
- Approval from the venue or marquee supplier
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Kingsley
Planners, venues and businesses
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. Then it rests briefly before our chef carves. In Kingsley, evening wedding food frequently coincides with dusk: sunset is around 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September. A few lights by the serving table help guests and photos alike.

A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a three-course plated meal, a hog roast is more relaxed and frequently better value. It still feels special. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why book our hog roast in Kingsley

Should I cook it myself?
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you, especially outdoors.

A closer look at the menu
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
Roast pork
Everything starts with the slow-roasted pork: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, and served hot.
What a hog roast costs
Each price is built from:
- The journey to the venue
- Access to the cooking area
- Crockery choices
- Season and day of the week
For larger numbers, a hog roast is normally good value, since one roast goes a long way. Extras, china and longer service add to it.

FAQs for Kingsley
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Kingsley?
Not at all. We cater in villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
Outside, always. Serving indoors is typically fine if the venue is happy.
Can we have both pork and lamb?
Of course: lamb and pork together give guests a choice.
What about coeliacs?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
When should we book?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do venues allow outside hog roasts?
It depends on the venue. Check with them first, and we’ll work with them on the details.
Do you come to Kingsley?
Yes. We cater across London and the South East, including Kingsley and Hampshire. Send us the address for a quote.
