A hog roast near Kingswood
Wedding hog roast in Kingswood, slow-roasted on site
We look after guests who do not eat pork: lamb, chicken, halloumi skewers or a vegan burger or sausage. We don’t offer halal meat. We are frequently asked to cater second-day get-togethers and home weddings, with carved roast pork, rotisserie chicken and crackling.
For a smaller place like Kingswood, a garden or farm wedding is often the dream. We need level ground, cover and a way in. Everything we need to roast, carve and serve comes with us, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
Catered or do it yourself?
Catered or DIY? Catered means we do everything: roasting, carving, serving and clearing. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone ends up cooking in batches all afternoon. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.

For event organisers in Kingswood
Event organisers frequently ask caterers for paperwork such as a risk assessment. Let us know what your event requires and we’ll tell you what we can send.
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so let them know about the roaster. The roaster stays a safe distance from the marquee.
About the food
Rotisserie chicken
Golden rotisserie chicken goes into rolls or onto plates alongside the pork.
Stuffing and apple sauce
Sharp, sweet apple sauce and savoury sage and onion stuffing go with the pork perfectly. Stuffing normally contains gluten.
Planning for dietary needs
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Halal isn’t offered, so plan separately if needed
- Collect dietary needs with RSVPs
- Give final numbers in good time
- Ask for gluten-free rolls for coeliac guests
If speeches overrun or the band starts late, we adjust. Just keep us informed.
Gluten-free rolls can be provided for the evening food.
Step by step
A hog roast is always cooked outside, on a level, open spot under cover, well clear of walls, tents and trees. We’ll agree the spot with you beforehand. Golden-hour photos in Kingswood at midsummer come around 9:20pm, so we can time the carving before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- Choose the main meal, the evening food or both.
- We send a quote with the menu and staffing.
- We confirm the cooking spot and access with the venue.
- We arrive early and roast slowly on site.
- We carve and serve, then clear away.
Getting ready for the day

How long does a hog roast take to cook?
