Wedding hog roast near Kingston by Sea
Couples book a hog roast for the main meal, the evening or both. We roast at the venue through the ceremony and drinks, then carve at the time you’ve set. Typical bookings include garden weddings at home and small, informal weddings, with salads, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
In Kingston by Sea, a local ceremony and a marquee reception is a lovely, personal choice. The roaster cooks a safe distance from the marquee. Tell us about access to the field or garden. We bring the people to serve and clear up, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

Questions from Kingston by Sea
Is Kingston by Sea close to London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church: can you cater?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby with an outdoor spot for the roaster. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Will there be enough to go round?
We size the roast to your numbers, so a good estimate matters. We will confirm the menu in the quote.
How much will it be?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Tell us about your wedding for a quote.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We pack everything away after service, and we take our equipment with us.
Do you do evening food?
Yes. We will time it around your first dance and band.
What’s included?
The classic: pork in rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling. Your quote lists any sides and extras.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, and a way to wheel everything in. A photo helps.
Why a carved hog roast beats a buffet
Next to a cold buffet, hot rolls carved to order go down much better. A hog roast is frequently good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Why Kingston by Sea hosts choose us
- Choices for people who don’t eat pork
- No surprises: everything in writing
- All the equipment comes with us
- Salads, potatoes and coleslaw to go with it

Working with your venue
Planning on behalf of a committee? A single point of contact keeps things simple, particularly when timings shift.
If you’re booking for a workplace, ask your facilities team about outside caterers and gas cooking. We’ll fit in with site rules.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Some hosts try a barbecue instead, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. With a hog roast, one roast feeds everyone at once.
Buying in a cold buffet is another option, but nothing beats hot pork and crackling carved in front of you.
