Vegan residents can have a vegan burger or sausage, so nobody misses out.

Common questions in Kennington
What’s the nearest station to Kennington?
Kennington has its own station: Vauxhall station.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Kennington?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard typically works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we’ll advise.
Do you need power or water?
Cooking is gas-fired, so no mains power is needed for the roast. Power can help with lighting after dark.
How big a hog will we need?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is crockery included?
Plates come as standard. If you’d like china, ask and we’ll add it to the quote.
What happens after service?
We clear the serving area and pack away, leaving the spot as we found it.
Can we just hire the roaster?
We do, if you are happy to roast and carve yourself. We will explain the details with your quote.
Can you roast in the rain?
We cook under a gazebo, so rain isn’t a problem for the roast. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Diets, allergies and alternatives
Allergies and dietary needs are easy to manage if we know in advance. Tips:
- Ask us to carve thinly for residents
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Halal isn’t offered
We can serve inside or out, as you prefer.
Ask about china.
Before you choose a spot
A hog roast cooks outdoors for hours, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way:
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
- Sign-off from management
- Away from opening windows
As a London location, Kennington is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
Not sure about the cooking spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
