If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a PA or on a committee, let us know who we’ll deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.
Venues often have rules for outside caterers, from approved lists to where a gas roaster can go. Ask early, and tell us what they ask for.
The process
We take care of everything from the first hour of roasting to clearing away, so you can enjoy your wedding in Kingston. For a summer wedding in Kingston, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food is often carved in daylight in June and July. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it is dark by about 4:00pm.
- Send us the date, venue and guest numbers.
- We check the venue’s rules and the date, then quote.
- We agree timings with your venue coordinator.
- We roast during the day, then carve at the agreed time.
- Our staff serve and clear, then we leave quietly.
Before we arrive
- Ask about allergies and dietary needs beforehand
- Think about shelter for your guests

Could you cook in Alexandra Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Do you do evening food?
Yes, evening food is very popular. Hot pork rolls are perfect late in the evening.

What happens after service?

What space does the roaster need?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. A photo helps.
Allergies and dietary needs
We give full allergen information for every dish. To help:
- Give final numbers in good time
- Count non-pork eaters, for lamb, chicken or a vegetarian choice
- Ask about dietary needs on your RSVP card
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
We serve and clear without fuss, and leave you to celebrate.
China crockery can be added for the wedding breakfast, quoted separately.
DIY versus a catered hog roast
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With DIY hire, you do the work and save on staffing.
DIY hire works best when someone in the family loves cooking. For bigger or more formal events, catering takes the pressure off.
- Slow-roasted on site for hours, outdoors at your event
- Carved by our chef into rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Not just pork: spit-roast lamb, chicken and vegetarian choices
- Staff to serve at the agreed time, then clear away
