Planning the cooking spot
The cooking area is what matters most. A quick checklist:
- Enough room for people to queue
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A clear way in from where we park
Paddington is in London, within the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access can be tight: 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’ll tell you honestly.

How our event catering works in Paddington
Not every venue in Paddington has a kitchen, and with us it doesn’t need one: all the cooking happens outdoors under cover. That makes gardens, fields, car parks and marquees all possible. Popular choices include rotisserie chicken, beef brisket and salads, and typical bookings are for care home summer events and location shoots.
Looking for caterers in Paddington? In London, the cooking spot and access matter most. We need an outdoor space and a route in, which rules out some flats but suits most gardens, yards and courtyards. A photo helps. We cater the food, cooked on site, from a carved hog roast to a full barbecue.

What else we do in Paddington
Catering an event in Paddington
Paddington is about 1 mile west of City of Westminster, in Greater London. Paddington is well within our area for events and the places nearby. We bring hog roasts to 764 places in Greater London, from the larger towns to small villages.
Planning an event in Royal Parks of London? Any cooking there needs the landowner’s permission, usually the council’s. Churches such as Church of St John the Evangelist rarely have room to cook, but a hall or garden nearby usually does.
We bring hog roasts to events all over the W2, W1H and W1U postcode area and the streets around it. Local streets include Harrow Road, Craven Road and Harbet Road; an event on any of them works well with outdoor space and a way in. Paddington is on the A5 and A40, which makes the journey straightforward. For events just outside Paddington, we cover Little Venice (1 mile north-west), Connaught Village (1 mile south-east), Paddington Green (1 mile north-west), City of Westminster (1 mile east) and Marylebone (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include London (4 miles east), Shoreditch (4 miles east), Walthamstow (8 miles north-east), Hoxton (4 miles east), Whitechapel (4 miles east) and Ruislip (11 miles west).
Nearby you will also find Ladbroke Estate (1.5 miles west) and Montfichet's Tower (3.1 miles east). Open spaces near Paddington include Greville Place nature reserve and The Long Water.
- Nearby schools include Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School (under half a mile east) and North Westminster Community School (less than half a mile north-east)
- Pubs nearby include Fountains Abbey pub (within half a mile south)
- Parks and local facilities nearby include Royal Society of Medicine Library (1.1 miles east)
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork so we can plan lamb, chicken or beef
- Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
We arrive well before food time and set up under cover, on the spot we agreed.
Add sides for a proper meal.

What catering costs
We work out each quote from:
- Busy dates such as summer Saturdays
- Plates or china
- Numbers
- The journey to the venue
A hog roast is often good value for a crowd, because one whole roast feeds a lot of people. Extras, china and longer service add to it.
Details that help
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Anything the venue has asked for
It is easy to get a price: date, place, numbers and serving time. We will reply with a clear price and what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
For event organisers in Paddington
If you are a venue or event planner, we’re happy to work alongside your team.
If the event is on someone else’s land, you will need the landowner’s permission for cooking and vehicles. Get that agreed before booking.

BBQ ribs
Ribs are a favourite with keen barbecue fans.

Brisket is a favourite with people who like their beef, served on a plate or in a roll.
Questions from Paddington
Could you cook in Royal Parks of London?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Ask them first.
Can you get a hog roast into a London garden in Paddington?
Frequently, if there’s a rear gate, a front garden or a yard we can use. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Can you cater a small event?
Send us the details and we’ll tell you honestly what fits. For smaller numbers, a barbecue is frequently the best fit.
Do you cater indoors?
We cook outdoors under cover, but we can frequently serve inside if the venue agrees. Check with your venue.
Do you need a kitchen at the venue?
Not at all. Everything is cooked outdoors on site, so gardens, fields and car parks all work.
Is there anything for vegans?
Yes. Every menu includes meat-free options, cooked separately from the meat.
How soon do you get booked up?
The earlier the better for popular dates. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Can we have something other than a hog roast?
No. We also do BBQ catering, with burgers, sausages, chicken skewers, ribs, pulled pork and brisket.
Why choose us as your caterers in Paddington?
Next to a cold buffet, our food comes hot, straight from the roaster or grill, and nothing sits out for hours. Cost depends on numbers, menu choices and service time, along with distance and how easy the site is. There’s no one-size price, so we quote each one individually.
