What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the roast, because we cook under cover. It is worth planning a sheltered place for people to eat, too. Around midsummer it stays light in Kingston by Sea until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is typically in daylight. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, we need light by the roaster and the serving table.

Questions from Kingston by Sea
Can you cater after a service at St Michael and All Angels Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Kingston by Sea from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you cook it or do we?
We offer full catering and DIY machine hire. Your quote will set out what’s included.
When do you start roasting?
Several hours, depending on the size and the weather, so we arrive well before you want to eat. We plan the timings from when you want to eat.
Do we need a big space?
Access and clearance matter more than size. Tell us about the garden and we’ll advise.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain is not a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
How do you work out quantities?
We size the roast to your numbers, so tell us your best estimate. The quote sets it out.
How much will it be?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
Should I cook it myself?
Catered or DIY? With catering, our chef roasts, carves and serves, and our staff clear up. With hire only, you do the cooking yourself.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience, especially outdoors.
