Rayners Lane questions
What’s the nearest station to Rayners Lane?
Northolt Park station, about 1.2 miles south-east of the centre.
Can you do a hog roast in Eastcote House Gardens?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
How big a hog will we need?
The roast is chosen to suit how many you are feeding, so a good estimate matters. We’ll confirm the menu in the quote.
How do we prepare?
Only the space and a contact number. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
How much room do you need?
A flat, open spot outside, plus a step-free route to wheel the equipment in. Send us a photo if you are unsure.
Can the hog roast be cooked indoors?
The roaster always stays outside, under cover, away from buildings and marquee walls. Serving inside is often possible, with the venue’s agreement.
When should we book?
As early as you can for summer weekends and December. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Send your date and we will check.
Can you serve on plates?
We can carve thinly and serve on plates with potatoes and apple sauce.
What the cooking area needs
The roaster needs space, cover and a safe distance from anything that could catch the heat. Before booking, check:
- A level outdoor area
- Away from windows that open and residents’ rooms
- The manager’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
As a London location, Rayners Lane is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.

Why choose a hog roast in Rayners Lane?
Compared with a trip out, a hog roast at the home is easier for residents with mobility needs. For larger numbers, a hog roast is typically good value, because one whole roast feeds plenty of people. The menu, extras such as china and the serving time all affect the final price.

Take a look at how we price and our hog roast cost guide.
How we price a hog roast day
Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:
- Time on site
- Distance from us
- Site access
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. Slow roasting means we are on site for much of the day, which is built into the price.
What we need to know
To check the date and the space, tell us:
- The address or postcode
- Any venue rules
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
We need a few details to quote: your date, your venue or postcode, how many people and any menu choices. Fill in our quote form.
Step by step
The secret is time: the meat cooks gently until it’s tender while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. In summer, Rayners Lane has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an afternoon in the garden works well. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime event is better.
- The home tells us the date and numbers.
- We agree the cooking spot and quote.
- The roast starts early.
- We carve and serve where you choose.
- We clear away quietly.
Preparing for the day
- Measure the narrowest gate or passage
- Choose someone to meet us on arrival
- Gather dietary requirements early
