FAQs for Paddington Green
What if our house in Paddington Green has no side access?
Often, if there is a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Could you cook in Kensington Gardens?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council, and many parks don’t allow cooking. Check with them first.
How soon do you get booked up?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we’ll check.
When do you start roasting?
A whole hog roasts for several hours, which is why we arrive hours ahead. We work back from your serving time.
Where does the hog roast go?
Enough level ground outdoors for the roaster and a serving table under cover, and a way to wheel everything in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Do you clear up?
Our staff clear the serving area, and we take our equipment with us.
What happens in bad weather?
Rain does not stop the cooking. A marquee, hall or barn for eating makes all the difference.
Will there be enough to go round?
Quantities are based on your numbers, and we will confirm everything in writing.
About the food
Salads, potatoes and coleslaw
Add salads, coleslaw and potatoes to make it a proper meal, especially at a sit-down event.
Roast pork
Slow-roasted pork is the heart of the menu: carved in front of you, a mix of shoulder and leg, straight from the roaster.
A hog roast or other catering?
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. Distance is part of the price: we include travel in the quote. Give us the address for an accurate figure.
Why book with us
- Staff to serve, so you don’t have to
- Slow-roasted at your venue, not reheated
- Sides to make it a full meal
- Self-contained: roaster, cover and serving kit

Prices and what affects them
The biggest factors are:
- Season and day of the week
- Distance from us
- Crockery choices
- Site access
Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, plus travel and access. Every booking is different, so we quote each one individually.
Details that help
Here’s what we’ll ask:
- Dietary requirements
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a photo
- The venue or postcode
- Anything the venue has asked for
Send us the date, the address or W2 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat. We’ll confirm availability and send a price. Send us your details through our quote form.
Looking after everyone
A hog roast is pork, so plan for anyone who doesn’t eat it. Here’s how to cover everyone:
- Stuffing normally contains gluten
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if needed
- Plan separately for halal if needed
- Request thin slices
Afterwards we tidy up calmly.
Add potatoes and apple sauce.
Planning the cooking spot
We need room to cook safely and under cover. Before booking, check:
- A named contact on the day
- Flat ground in the grounds
- Somewhere for residents to eat comfortably
As a London location, Paddington Green 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 picture and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Working with your venue
Marquee hire companies frequently have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We’ll keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
Organisers may ask for documents such as a risk assessment or gas safety information. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what we can send.
- Cooked where you are, slowly, over several hours outdoors
