The roaster is gas-fired, so we don’t need mains power to cook, though a socket nearby is handy for lighting. Sunset in Bayswater in late December is about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the roaster and the serving table. We set up in daylight and roast into the evening.

About the food
Roast turkey
A carved roast turkey makes it feel like Christmas, served alongside the pork and crackling.
Crackling
Crackling takes hours to get right, and a whole hog roasted slowly gets it just right.
Catered or do it yourself?
A barbecue is the other obvious choice, but someone has to stand at the grill all day. A hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone.
If you’re confident and want to save on staff, DIY machine hire is an option. You cook and carve it yourself; we will confirm what comes with it when you ask.
Before you choose a spot
Planning the cooking spot is the key. Check these:
- Clearance from walls and tents
- Indoor space for eating
- Parking near the cooking area
As a London location, Bayswater is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: tell us about side or rear access, steps and parking for our vehicle.
